Package: libnettle6 Version: 3.1.1-3 Followup-For: Bug #787620 Dear Maintainer,
=========================================================================================== I did an apt-upgrade which brought in libnettle6. After this upgrade, many applications including claws-mail, opera-developer and amarok gave segfaults in libnettle.so.4.7, when they had been working very well before the upgrade. A small portion of /var/log/messages shows the issue: Jun 16 21:44:36 berkeley kernel: [ 193.926118] opera-developer[5831]: segfault at 10 ip b58c7788 sp bf967fb0 error 4 in libnettle.so.4.7[b58a5000+33000] Jun 16 21:44:40 berkeley kernel: [ 198.120705] claws-mail[6013]: segfault at 10 ip b5d4a788 sp bfc42ee0 error 4 in libnettle.so.4.7[b5d28000+33000] Jun 16 21:45:53 berkeley kernel: [ 270.450074] opera-developer[6033]: segfault at 10 ip b5921788 sp bfab6c40 error 4 in libnettle.so.4.7[b58ff000+33000] Jun 16 21:49:34 berkeley kernel: [ 492.247703] opera-developer[7105]: segfault at 10 ip b587c788 sp bfc2c040 error 4 in libnettle.so.4.7[b585a000+33000] Jun 16 21:52:32 berkeley kernel: [ 670.290937] amarok[7901]: segfault at 10 ip ae721788 sp bfc8bf70 error 4 in libnettle.so.4.7[ae6ff000+33000] Jun 16 21:52:33 berkeley kernel: [ 671.039250] amarok[7905]: segfault at 10 ip ae750788 sp bff04910 error 4 in libnettle.so.4.7[ae72e000+33000] Jun 16 21:52:37 berkeley kernel: [ 675.542855] amarok[7919]: segfault at 10 ip ae796788 sp bfc39c40 error 4 in libnettle.so.4.7[ae774000+33000] Jun 16 21:52:42 berkeley kernel: [ 679.686201] amarok[7941]: segfault at 10 ip ae742788 sp bfb02200 error 4 in libnettle.so.4.7[ae720000+33000] Jun 16 21:52:51 berkeley kernel: [ 688.816133] amarok[7995]: segfault at 10 ip ae70d788 sp bfe147b0 error 4 in libnettle.so.4.7[ae6eb000+33000] Jun 16 21:53:01 berkeley kernel: [ 699.385685] amarok[8028]: segfault at 10 ip ae798788 sp bfec1e50 error 4 in libnettle.so.4.7[ae776000+33000] After removing libnettle4, all these applications work perfectly again! This (very serious) issue might have been avoided if the dependencies for libnettle6 caused libnettle4 to be removed as part of the upgrade.
