[Pkg-crosswire-devel] [Bug 935574] Re: ABI incompatability in libsword8 (xiphos segfaults)

[ibidem]

As a temporary workaround, I have libsword 1.6.1 in my foreports ppa (ppa:ibid-ag/oldgtk1)
Note that that PPA is used for a number of packages that are older than "current" or have been dropped from Ubuntu; 
you may want to pin libsword, but probably not the PPA.

  gives me this backtrace:
