Please unblock package fvwm 1:2.7.0-2 The newly uploaded package fixes bug #1034054 in which a change in libX11 1.8.1 can cause fvwm to crash when handling expose events. The patch is backported from fvwm3. Here is the commit (diff) between 1:2.7.0-1 and 1:2.7.0-2: https://github.com/somiaj/fvwm2-debian/commit/d4d1a7d8f66eddb09080c5f6a5b15f21b343b92a [ Reason ] Fix a bug that causes fvwm to crash in some cases. [ Impact ] The current fvwm package may crash and could cause minor data loss losing any unsaved data when fvwm and xorg crash. [ Tests ] The patch has been tested with fvwm3, confirmed to fix the issue, and no additional issues have been reported. In addition the patch has been tested by a user in bug #1034054, and they have not had any crash since applying the patch. [ Risks ] Minor. Code is straight forward, and currently running just fine in fvwm3. The new fvwm package runs just fine with all my tests. [ Checklist ] [*] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [*] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing (I linked to the actual diff to the debian/ of the source package) unblock fvwm/1:2.7.0-2 jaimos
