[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#895801: kicad: assert failure with new wxPython version

[Willem van den Akker]

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

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading to the newest wxPython, Kicad wont open any files anymore.

It comes with the failure:
../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)?

Going back to previous (wxPython) version will overhaule the complete systemen
because many packages are removed.

I cannot believe I am the only one who is looking to this failure :)
