Package: wmaker
Version: 0.96.0-4+b1
Severity: serious
Iirc two days ago (Mon 19 Jan) wmaker stopped working, it crashes
immediately. Downgrading libfontconfig1 from 2.17.1-3 to 2.15.0-2.4
(and libpangoft2-1.0-0 to 1.56.4-1) makes the crash go away.
I have rebuilt with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt" to get a
backtrace (in Xnest):
