Package: libx11-6 Version: 2:1.1.3-1 Severity: critical This is only 'critical' because it causes unrelated software (e.g., Side Effects Software's Houdini) to break by causing hangs. Feel free to downgrade, but this is a very important bug to me, at least.
This is also reported upstream: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9528 Simply upgrading to a XCB-enabled libx11 build causes clients to start hanging inside _XReply. There is a bunch of analysis at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2007-August/002961.html too. To reproduce, download a build of Houdini 9.0 from www.sidefx.com and run it. You will see various hangs almost immediately upon running 'houdini'. I can help with all manner of debugging; I just don't understand X (and in particular, libx11 and XCB) enough to do this myself. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libx11-6 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-data 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcb-xlib0 1.1-1 X C Binding, Xlib/XCB interface li ii libxcb1 1.1-1 X C Binding ii x11-common 1:7.3+10 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc libx11-6 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
