Bug#667457: gwaei: Program freezes without properly starting
Package: gwaei Version: 3.2.0b1-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, As of a sid upgrade around 2012-03-31, gwaei now won't start. Prior to that point, it was working properly. Package: gwaei State: installed Version: 3.2.0b1-1 Section: gnome Architecture: amd64 Here is a screenshot of it freezing. https://imgur.com/dcOkY It will stay like this until I force close it, and this happens every time. If I open the program using the command line, no error message (or any other message) is displayed. I haven't changed any gwaei settings recently, but on spec, I tried removing my home directory gwaei files, and the behavior persists. I'm using xfce4 and haven't tried Gnome or KDE. Ideally, gwaei should open without freezing when I try to open it. I would like to provide more information on what's going wrong, but no error messages show up in the console or in /var/log/messages. Let me know what other information would be useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gwaei depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-27 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.12.0-2 ii libcairo2 1.12.0-2 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.25.0-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3.1 ii libfreetype62.4.9-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.0-2 ii libglib2.0-02.32.0-3 ii libgtk-3-0 3.2.3-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libwaei23.2.0b1-1 Versions of packages gwaei recommends: ii enchant 1.6.0-7 ii fonts-kanjistrokeorders 2.016-4 gwaei suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yes, indeed. The problem is that libgtk has been updated to a version
that breaks several other packages, another instance is #665374 for eog.
I consider this a serious bug of libgtk, as it breaks unrelated software.
I have already tried a few remedies without success, consulting wiht
upstream author, too. Unfortunately the latest version of upstream
cannot be packaged for Sid at the moment, as the necessary dependencies
are still in experimental:
Question for the libgtk maintainers: Why on earth do you break existing
package when you anyway have the lastest version in experimental? So either
make a clean cut and go for the version in experimental, or keep
backward compatibility, please.
I have no intention to fix a bug that was introduced by libgtk due
to a half-way upgrade in sid. I intend to wait until the updated
libgtk arrives in sid from experimental to upload the latest version
of gwaei to Debian.
Best wishes
