Bug#418016: Recent security update of libx11-6 (1.0.3-7) made opera segfault
Package: libx11-6
Version: 2:1.0.3-7
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
After upgrading libx11-6 to the security update as in version 1.0.3-7
made opera segfault every time I tried to start it. Downgrading to
version 1.0.3-6 fixes it.
Yes, I know that opera isn't open source, but I marked this bug critical
because if the patch for the security fix causes opera to segfault,
something looks _fishy_ with this patch and could propably cause other
applications to break, too. But feel free to downgrade the severity of
this bug, if you think the problem is inside opera.
I will probably fill a bugreport for opera, too, which includes a link
to this bugreport.
