[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#789538: amarok: Amarok seqfaults immediately, problem traced to libnettle4

[Peter Yellman]

Package: amarok
Version: 2.8.0-2.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After apt upgrade on June 19, Amarok won't start with immediate segfault.  Installed necessary debugging tools, and:

******* debug output  **********

Starting program: /usr/bin/amarok --nofork
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xae857788 in nettle_yarrow256_update () from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.4

******* debug output **********

Found bug report https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1330899.html.

Temporary solution:
1) Forced uninstall of package libnettle4
2) link /usr/lib/i386-linux/gnu/libnettle.so.4 -> /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.6
