Package: armagetronad Version: 0.2.9.1.1-1
Upstream developer here. I can't report any actual errors, I am not regularly using Debian. But in the source version you are using, there is Undefined Behavior in our linked list management. As these things go, it has been without consequence for twenty years, but recently, on Ubuntu and Fedora, compiler advancements have lead to the release of the corresponding nasal demons. Namely: In Fedora 39, it caused the online browser to enter an endless loop: https://gitlab.com/armagetronad/armagetronad/-/issues/145 In Ubuntu 25.10, it caused crashes on startup: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/armagetronad/+bug/2127929 The circumstance to reproduce the startup crash on Ubuntu was the use of GCC 15.2 and the compiler options CXXFLAGS="-flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects".
Both bug database links contain links to minimal patches that can be applied to the 0.2.9.1.1 source to fix the UB. In our upstream source version 0.2.9.2.X, the bug is also fixed. I would suggest upgrading the source (but wait a bit, I may have a good handle on the startup bug #905865) for the next release, before problems appear. Apply the patch if problems are already affecting current builds.
