Build the sources like this: $ DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt nostrip debuild -us -uc -b Install those and then enable core dumps in you root session: # ulimit -c unlimited This should create a core dump if it segfaulted, in such case you can attach to it with gdb to see at which point it happened, with something like: # gdb /usr/bin/xfstt core Once inside the gdb session, type something like this to get the full stack trace, and send that back: (gdb) bt full thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

hmm... hard to tell as from my side. i did as you advised me, with the source code apt-get source fetches. however, the bug does not appear in this build - but it is still reproducable by a call to the original binary at /usr/bin. hence the problem seems to be connected to the deb package. i shall rebuild xfstt to be installed on /usr/bin instead of the file already being there, so the problem will be at least solved on my box.

addition: the freshly built binary segfaults as well. I'll try and get a backtrace... On Wed, 2 Dec 2009 17:35:19 +0100 Guillem Jover guil...@debian.org wrote: Hi!
