sure, we can do this. But I'm currently have not the resources to make a
rebuild of the kicad package because I'm on vacation.  I will prepare
something for testing once I"m home again.

Hello Carsten and Werner-

I've committed a potential fix to this issue to the kicad tree (
https://git.launchpad.net/kicad/commit/?id=edbf34c2b2965f63537e485d958f00166f01bc5a).
However, it has only been seen to correct the similar behavior we observed
earlier and I have been unable to recreate the current issue.

If you have a chance to apply/test this for the current issue, I'd greatly
appreciate it.

Best-
Seth

Hello Carsten,

Thank you very much for your efforts.
As far as I understand the situation, this is not a segfault, but an intended
abort caused by a failed assertion.

mhh, I don't use i386 based hardware normaly, on amd64 KiCad is working
well so far.
O.k., this is an upstream issue and need to be addressed there. Can you
please make a GDB log of a segfault? You need to install kicad-dbgsym
for this.

https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace

Once we have a GDB log we can open a issue within the upstream bug
tracker.

Bug#905221: kicad: pcbnew immediately crashes after invocation without showing a GUI (failed assertion)

[Werner Frey]

Package: kicad
Version: 5.0.0+dfsg1-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

pcbnew aborts immediately after invocation on my i386 Debian Buster 
installation.
The kicad package was freshly installed for the first time.
There were no changes to the default configuration of the package.
When I started pcbnew the very first time a hint window pops up, saying that I 
am
using pcbnew the first time using the new search method for footprints. After I
confirmed the popup by clicking the OK button, the messages below appeared and
pcbnew aborted. On later invocations the popup window doesn't appear and pcbnew
aborts immediatly showing the messages below.

As this behaviour also kills eeschema without any warning  when searching for 
footprints
from within eeschema the complete kicad package is unusable for me.
