Please remove pornview package from Debian. There are numerous reasons
for that:
- does not work on Wheezy - segfaults (see #665738)
- dead and unmaintained upstream (last release from 2003)
- requires GTK+ v2, which is unmaintained upstream (superseded by
GTK+ v3) and will be removed from Debian sooner or later
- there are dozens of alternative image viewers
I have contacted package maintainer about it. I'll give myself
permission to quote part of his response:

So here is the confirmation. It makes me sad to let this one go, but it
really is time to let it pass into the great archive in the sky. It
doesn't make sense to spend the time to try and update it to the current
rev of Gtk, autotools, etc.
