Package: libnettle6 Version: 3.1.1-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
=============================================================================================================== I did an apt-get upgrade of my system which brought in libnettle6 but did not remove the existing libnettle4. After this upgrade, many applications including curl, opera-developer, claws-mail and amarok gave segfaults in libnettle.so.4.7, when they had been working very well before the upgrade (set portion of /var/log/messages below). After removing libnettle4, all these applications work perfectly again. I saw that other libnettle bugs that reported this behavior on specific applications, like bugs 788349 and 788572, recommend updating the affected packages. But the applications above that segfaulted in my system were all at their latest version for debian testing, so this is not a practical solution. One solution that would have avoided this issue is if installing libnettle6 caused an existing version of libnettle4 to be removed, for example by making libnettle6 replace/conflict with libnettle4. Removing libnettle4 worked with all the applications that segfaulted in my system. Here is the recent update history of libnettle[46] on my system and below all the libnettle segfaults in /var/log/messages, which began only after libnettle6 was installed. 2015-04-23 10:53:00 upgrade
