Package: libpng12-0
Version: 1.5.10-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
the new version of libpng12-0 that was uploaded in experimental today is
sending gdm3 and Xorg restarting in an infinite loop at boot time, rendering
the (graphical) system unusable. Each one of them takes a VT and dies,
and it is not possible to kill Xorg/gdm too.
Also, after installing the new version, no application can be started
in a currently running environment because segfaulting.
Booting in single user mode and downgrading to the latest 1.4.x version
makes the system work again.
Cheers,
Matteo
