Subject: openbox: Segmentation fault on start up Package: openbox Version: 3.4.11.1-1 Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line *** Openbox segfaults on start up due to a missing dependency when run against libglib2.0 version 2.28.0. I chased the problem down to the failed creation of a regular expression in the function parse_expand_tilde() in parse.c. The failed creation results in many statements like GLib-CRITICAL **: g_regex_unref: assertion `regex != NULL' failed and similar. I was able to get openbox to run again by upgrading the package libpcre3 to the version in unstable (8.12-2).
