Package: octave Version: 3.8.0-2 Severity: important Decided to give a glorious beast (octave gui) a try, installed from experimental (the base system is a mix of jessie/sid), running awesome window-manager under XFCE4.
upon initial start, the welcome wizard came alone, I allowed to fetch help from online, and then kaboom: $> octave --force-gui *** Error in `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/3.8.0/exec/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/octave-gui': corrupted double-linked list: 0x00007efef0257bd0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x7aa26)[0x7eff2536da26] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x7bb5a)[0x7eff2536eb5a] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctinterp.so.2(_ZNSt8_Rb_treeISsSt4pairIKSsN12symbol_table8fcn_infoEESt10_Select1stIS4_ESt4lessISsESaIS4_EE8_M_eraseEPSt13_Rb_tree_nodeIS4_E+0x51)[0x7eff281c56a1] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctinterp.so.2(_ZNSt8_Rb_treeISsSt4pairIKSsN12symbol_table8fcn_infoEESt10_Select1stIS4_ESt4lessISsESaIS4_EE8_M_eraseEPSt13_Rb_tree_nodeIS4_E+0x2f)[0x7eff281c567f] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctinterp.so.2(_ZNSt8_Rb_treeISsSt4pairIKSsN12symbol_table8fcn_infoEESt10_Select1stIS4_ESt4lessISsESaIS4_EE8_M_eraseEPSt13_Rb_tree_nodeIS4_E+0x2f)[0x7eff281c567f] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctinterp.so.2(_ZNSt8_Rb_treeISsSt4pairIKSsN12symbol_table8fcn_infoEESt10_Select1stIS4_ESt4lessISsESaIS4_EE8_M_eraseEPSt13_Rb_tree_nodeIS4_E+0x2f)[0x7eff281c567f] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctinterp.so.2(_ZNSt8_Rb_treeISsSt4pairIKSsN12symbol_table8fcn_infoEESt10_Select1stIS4_ESt4lessISsESaIS4_EE8_M_eraseEPSt13_Rb_tree_nodeIS4_E+0x2f)[0x7eff281c567f] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctinterp.so.2(_ZNSt8_Rb_treeISsSt4pairIKSsN12symbol_table8fcn_infoEESt10_Select1stIS4_ESt4lessISsESaIS4_EE8_M_eraseEPSt13_Rb_tree_nodeIS4_E+0x2f)[0x7eff281c567f] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__cxa_finalize+0x8f)[0x7eff2532ce3f] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctinterp.so.2(+0x2eff23)[0x7eff279fef23] ======= Memory map: ======== 00400000-00401000 r-xp 00000000 08:01 2281693 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/3.8.0/exec/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/octave-gui 00600000-00601000 r--p 00000000 08:01 2281693 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/3.8.0/exec/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/octave-gui 00601000-00602000 rw-p 00001000 08:01 2281693 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/3.8.0/exec/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/octave-gui 0119f000-018bd000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 7efef0000000-7efef0738000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7efef0738000-7efef4000000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 ... so I installed octave-dbg and decided to get more insights, but starting it again results in no window/interpreter.
