Bug#1034629: pdf-presenter-console: pdfpc terminates with symbol lookup error

[Jochen Sprickerhof]

Hi Robert,

I was not able to reproduce this in an up to date testing VM.
Steps I tried:

$ debvm-create --size=10G -r testing -- --include=task-gnome-desktop 
--aptopt='Apt::Install-Recommends "true"' --include=linux-image-amd64 
--hook-dir=/usr/share/mmdebstrap/hooks/useradd
$ debvm-run -g -- -m 4G

in the running VM:

$ sudo apt install pdf-presenter-console
$ wget https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/packaging-tutorial/packaging-tutorial
$ pdfpc packaging-tutorial

Can you check that your system is fine by running:

$ sudo dpkg --verify

Also send the output of

$ ldd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37

In case there is an old library somewhere in the path.

Cheers Jochen
