Hi Nico, As I said before, with all of the package versions listed in the bug report above, if I have libpcre3 (8.02-1.1) (testing) and libglib2.0-0 (2.28.0-1) (unstable) installed, openbox fails to start and segfaults with the error messages described above. If I only upgrade libpcre3 to version (8.12-2) (unstable), openbox will start correctly.
The package libglib2.0-0 (2.28.0-1) itself requires libpcre3 (>7.7). So, of course, this could be a dependency problem of libglib2.0-0. As I have only experienced problems with openbox, I reported it here. I have not tried downgrading libglib2.0-0, but I assume that would work as well. The problem comes from the g_regex_new() call in the function parse_expand_tilde() in parse.c. With libpcre3 (8.02-1.1) and libglib2.0-0 (2.28.0-1) installed, the g_regex_new() call fails. You're probably right. This appears to be a libglib2.0-0 problem. Thanks for responding so quickly. Cheers, Chris
