[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#895008: kicad: can't start pcbnew

[Leonardo Canducci]

Package: kicad
Version: 4.0.7+dfsg1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
when running pcbnew within kicad or on the command line I get lots of
errors lihe this one (both in a dialog and in the shell):

Assertion failed!
../src/common/object.cpp(251): assert "classTable->Get(m_className) == NULL" failed in Register(): Class "wxCommandEvent" already in RTTI table - have you used IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC_CLASS() multiple times or linked some object file twice)?

Many more errors come after, all reporting 
"../src/common/object.cpp(251): assert "classTable->Get(m_className) == NULL"

Anyway pcbnew doesn't start.

I've tried installing kicad 5 from experimental but pcbnew won't start
either.  

A backtrace is attached for the first error.

Leonardo
