[Followups redirected to debian-devel] Some packages in hamm have been linked with the -r /usr/X11R6/lib option and break on a libc6 system with the new libc6 X libraries (coredump).
This perl script will patch these programs and make them work: =========== BEGIN SCRIPT #!/usr/bin/perl -w # Open file open IN, "$ARGV[0]" or die "can't find $ARGV[0]: $!"; # Read it in one slurp select IN; undef $/; select STDOUT; $file=<IN>; close IN; # Remove this string $count=$file=~s!/usr/X11R6/lib\0!\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0!g; print "Replaced: $count occurences in $ARGV[0]\n"; # Write the file open OUT, ">$ARGV[0].out" or die "can't write $ARGV[0].out: $!"; print OUT $file; close OUT; =========== END SCRIPT It's been working with emacs, xpmroot (package fvwm-common), fvwm2. All these programs now work like a charm (and got bugs assigned :-). Note: You should get one and only one replacement, otherwise it indicates something's gone wrong.
