Description stonin 2002-11-04 19:13:02 UTC 
I've mailed a report to pan-users because I could not copy-paste into this
form.

Are you referring to

?
Comment 2 Charles Kerr 2002-11-04 20:17:24 UTC 
Ah, looks like you're referring to
http://mail.freesoftware.fsf.org/pipermail/pan-users/2002-November/002376.html

IOW, you've submitted a bug report with no particular information,
and sent me on a hunting expidition, to a compressed (therefore
unreadable via bugzilla) runlog. ;)

Please don't give me extra hoops to jump through -- I have enough
of those even finding time to work on Pan nowadays.

Rather, fill out the "additional comments" form with some information,
and attach a plaintext runlog (or better yet, backtrace) via the
"Create a new attachment" link on this page.... thanks.

Hi,

I'm very sorry!  All evidence aside, I'm not really blind or
completely inept. :)  I apologize for sending to the list.  I've just
attached a backtrace and runlog.

When I try to start pan, it exits with a segmentation fault.
I also tried as a user with no ~/.pan directory or ~/.gnome/Pan as
well as pan-fix CVS version yesterday but with the same results.

my setup:

debian i386 testing (sarge)
pan 0.13.1
libatk 1.0.3
libc6 2.2.5
libglib 2.0.6
libpango 1.0.4
gcc 2.95

Please let me know if I can provide any other info.  Thank you.
Michael

As with 91658, this is crashing in pango_x_list_subfonts()...

Michael: a couple of people on pan-users have reported that
upgrading FreeType and Pango seems to work.  However I haven't
heard anything from the Pango team.

Pango Developers: Pan isn't doing anything with the fonts in
the]optionmenu at the top of this trace...

Hi Charles,

I thought of upgrading freetype & pango, however debian unstable
currently has the new libc6 2.3 which I'm a bit scared of using... :)
 I was using an older version of pan for awhile and then on a whim
tried one of the rpm versions of 0.13.2 on the site, installing it
with alien. I don't know why, but it works!

Anyways,  thank you so much for pan.  It is by far the best gui
newsreader for *nix.

 Michael
