I installed a newer lbglib because I saw gdm crashing in glib and I thought that an updated version helps it not to crash.
But anyway, gdm (I guess it's more glib though) apparently doesn't work with that version of libpcre. Hence the dependency it must be modelled. $ apt-cache policy libpcre3 libpcre3: Installed: 8.12-3 Candidate: 8.12-3 Version table: *** 8.12-3 0 400 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 8.02-1 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages I had 8.02-1 installed and updated to 8.12-3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728448 Title: gdm-simple-slave crashed with SIGSEGV in g_match_info_matches() -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
