Package: xterm Version: 232-1 Severity: important xterm, run with whatever arguments, exits with a segfault before bringing up a window. I've graded this as important rather than anything higher because it may work on other X servers, especially based on the gdb output.
The relevant part of the gdb backtrace from the point of segfault; #0 0xb7d1eeef in XFindOnExtensionList () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 #1 0xb7d16573 in _XF86BigfontFreeFontMetrics () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 #2 0xb7d1665c in XFreeFont () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 Richard -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.2rt Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.6+20080203-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.12-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xbitmaps 1.0.1-2 Base X bitmaps Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.3+1 X11 utilities ii xutils 1:7.1.ds.3-1 X Window System utility programs -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
