I believe this problem to be fixed. Yesterday I upgraded a bunch of packages: several core X-packages that had been waiting a long time, updated nvidia packages and latest kernel package (this is on unstable). Currently I have the latest version of every installed package.
With these packages updated, this crash no longer occurs. Because of the large number of packages it's hard to tell exactly what fixed it but given the stack traces above it might be the nvidia packages. This time, those packages told me that I might have remnants of an old manual nvidia installation, and that this might cause problems. I asked the package installer to remove the left overs for me, and after that the vlc-nox postinst worked correctly. So the "fix" seems to be to install the latest version of the nvidia packages and let it clean it up for you, or supposedly to manually look around for files and links installed by nvidia-installer. /Oskar _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
