I'm affected too. I think I found the cause of the segfault, or at least a hint to take a look.
The new version of Fonty Python is compiled against python-wxgtk3.0. Since the problem apparently started since the upgrade to that version of the library I tried installing the old from wheezy (depends on wxgtk2.8), but it crashed too. Then I tried uninstalling python-wxgtk3.0. The current version from jessie can't be installed since it depends on wxgtk3.0, so I tried with fonty python from wheezy, and it worked. Fonty python from wheezy with python-wxgtk 2.8 works fine, but it crashes with 3.0, which leads me to think that there is something wrong with wxgtk 3.0 Trying to find further information I bumped with this old bug report: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?23528 I'm not sure if this is helpful, but the reporter claims that building wxGTK with --enable-debug produced a similar crash. Is it possible that python-wxgtk3.0 was compiled with that flag? Hth, Gez. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
