** Description changed:
SRU Details
Impact: Renders debugger unstable and unsuitable for use. Which, of
course, means that finding other bugs is harder. Severe to all package
users, minimal to normal users.
- Development Branch: Not applicable - this is a packaging/build mistake.
+ Development Branch: Fixed in Debian in the same way that is proposed for the
SRUs, package merged from
+ Debian now.
- Patch: Attached. Named "KipInsight.patch"
+ Patches: attached, see comments.
TEST CASE:
1. Install insight (...)
2. Run Insight (I use "insight" in a terminal)
3. Click on "View" > "Console"
4. Type "show solib-absolute-prefix"
5. See error.
Regression Potential:
Minimal - changes are made in the way the package is built, which may cause
other problems, but its unlikely. Only one line is changed in the build
configuration.
================
Original Description:
Binary package hint: insight
Whenever I load a wxWidgets application and click run, I get a pop up message
box that will not go away no matter how many times I hit ok:
"Cannot initialize thread debugging library: generic error"
After much probing around and help on the insight mailing list, it turns
out that it was built wrong.

Insight shouldn't be built with --with-sysroot=/usr/share
