Package: rdesktop Version: 1.8.2-3 Severity: normal Hi!
Version 1.8.2-3 of rdesktop tends to segfault quite often which is fixed by upgrading to 1.8.3-1 from unstable. Since we can't migrate 1.8.3-1 into testing due to the freeze right now, the particular fix for the segfault will need to be backported. Here a demonstration which can be reproduced on several computers at the department here. I haven't tested this on a fresh Jessie installation yet installed through a current version of Debian Installer. glaubitz@devourer:~> lsb_release -c Codename: jessie glaubitz@devourer:~> dpkg -l rdesktop | grep ^ii ii rdesktop 1.8.2-3 amd64 RDP client for Windows NT/2000 Terminal Server and Windows Servers glaubitz@devourer:~> rdesktop -a16 -g1024x768 term Autoselected keyboard map en-us Segmentation fault glaubitz@devourer:~> su - Password: root@devourer:~> apt-get install rdesktop -t=unstable Reading package lists...
