As written in the previous messages, the problem is not Fontconfig, so this bug should not have been reopened. Other packages that had problems with Fontconfig's pthreads are fixing or have already fixed them. Applying that proposed NMU patch is out of Debian quality standards and one could only recompile his own packages with it if xpdf is really needed (like you did in ftp://ftp.ethgen.ch/pub/debian/pool/unofficial/f/fontconfig ). The problem lies elsewhere as Pino Toscano said in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=730112#68 > Seriously: the current xpdf in Debian is totally broken, and it has been > for years even before the recent changes in fontconfig and/or poppler; > those just uncovered even more the nonsense the current xpdf is. > [...] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
