do you have the version before and after ?
that way I should prevent spyder to be installed with the wrong libqtwebkit4

I will look for the libqtwebkit4 bugs for now

I un-install all the qt4 library from my unstable box then switch to testing repository
and re-install spyder 2.0.12 from testing. guest what it works out of the box.
then I upgraded to spyder 2.1.1 and it was also ok.

so it seems that spyder segfault for a faulty combination of python-qt4 / libqtwebkit4.
I doesn not seems to me that this is a spyder bug.
Maybe a Break should be added to libqtwebkit4 to avoid installation of the faulty combination

I will forward this bug to python-qt4 if you are ok with my "analyse".

Cheers,
