Package: fvwm Version: 1:2.5.30.ds-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I have used fvwm as a window manager for ages and few weeks ago (after I installed the latest X.org) I noticed that I cannot login on X since something in my xsession crashes. Today I finally decided to test with a fresh clean setup and then attempted to switch to fvwm. The result was that the session ended immediatly, so it looks it was ye olde fvwm that had prevented me to use X. Next I though this might be just some library conflict that could be fixed by recompiling fvwm. So I fetched the Debian package sources and attempted to build the software, but that didn't work, the stage that stopped the compilation was: gcc -DFVWM_MODULEDIR=\"/usr/lib/fvwm/2.5.30\" -DFVWM_DATADIR=\"/usr/share/fvwm\" -DFVWM_CONFDIR=\"/etc/X11/fvwm\" -DFVWM_COLORSET_PRIVATE=1 -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -Wall -Wno-implicit-int -Wall -g -O2 -s -s -o fvwm menus.o style.o borders.o events.o move_resize.o builtins.o add_window.o icons.o fvwm.o frame.o placement.o virtual.o menustyle.o conditional.o ewmh.o stack.o session.o colorset.o functions.o ewmh_events.o gnome.o geometry.o module_list.o focus.o windowlist.o functable.o menuitem.o expand.o module_interface.o menubindings.o decorations.o ewmh_icons.o update.o bindings.o misc.o cursor.o colormaps.o modconf.o ewmh_conf.o read.o schedule.o menucmd.o ewmh_names.o icccm2.o windowshade.o focus_policy.o repeat.o execcontext.o menugeometry.o menudim.o condrc.o -L../libs -lfvwm -lXft -lXpm -lstroke -lSM -lICE -lXinerama -lXext -lX11 -lm -lXrender -lXcursor -lfribidi -lpng -lz -pthread -lrsvg-2 -lgio-2.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lgmodule-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 -lcairo /usr/bin/ld: ../libs/libfvwm.a(Fft.o): undefined reference to symbol 'FcPatternDel' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'FcPatternDel' is defined in DSO //usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 so try adding it to the linker command line //usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: could not read symbols: Invalid operation collect2: ld returned 1 exit status -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages fvwm depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.4-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfribidi0 0.19.2-1 Free Implementation of the Unicode ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.4-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.7-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.9-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-2 PNG library - runtime ii libreadline6 6.1-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii librplay3 3.3.2-13 rplay network audio system - share ii librsvg2-2 2.32.1-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libsm6 2:1.2.0-1 X11 Session Management library ii libstroke0 0.5.1-6 mouse strokes library -- runtime f ii libx11-6 2:1.4.3-1 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.11-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.2.0-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.2.0-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.9-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages fvwm recommends: ii fvwm-icons 20070101-1 icon *.xpm files from fvwm develop pn libx11-protocol-perl <none> (no description available) ii perl-tk 1:804.029-1+b1 Perl module providing the Tk graph Versions of packages fvwm suggests: ii cpp 4:4.5.2-5 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) pn fvwm-themes <none> (no description available) ii m4 1.4.16-1 a macro processing language ii menu 2.1.45 generates programs menu for all me ii wm-icons 0.4.0-5 Themed icon set that is Window Man -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
