Package: libarts1c2a
Version: 1.5.9-2+b1
Severity: grave
File: soundserver
Justification: renders package unusable
First, I must note that this problem relates to my AMD64 machine, which has
been so severely disrupted that I can no longer use it.
First, this problem happened on my last software upgrade.
Second, it takes the form of a constantly-recurring fatal error message that
says that soundserver failed to initialize, or load, or words to that effect.
The biggest problem is in connection with the fact that the system simply
cannot "give up" -- it
retries to load the soundserver at least every three seconds until it runs out
of memory. Mu system has 2 GB of memory, which means that it can stack up 230
iterations of the procedure.
I would doubtless try to reinstall Debian on the machine, except that (a) I
have no guarantee that it would make any improvement, and (b) I want you to
have a chance to debug it first.
I hopw you can debug it.
N.B.: This machine has had trouble running either gnash or Adobe Flash software
for months now. I cannot help but wonder whether this failure is related to
that problem or not.

Version: 1.5.9-3+rm
arts was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze) in
February 2011 and removed from Debian sid/unstable later in 2011 (see
http://bugs.debian.org/619729 for details on the removal). Since
support for squeeze and squeeze-LTS has now ended, I'm closing all the
remaining bugs reported against this package.
