[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1023082: /usr/bin/kicad: Core applications are not usable

[Mithat Konar]

Package: kicad
Version: 6.0.9+dfsg-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/kicad
X-Debbugs-Cc: mkonar.dogus at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

The following KiCad applications fail to launch when attempting to do so from
the main GUI wrapper:

- Schematic Editor
- Symbol Editor
- PCB Editor
- Footprint Editor
- Gerber Viewer
- Drawing Sheet Editor

eeschema and pcbnew also fail when invoked at the command line. I have not
tried the others.

All the launch failures are accompanied by a dialog indicating the following
error: "Failed to load shared library '/usr/bin/<varies>': /lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/libwx_gtk3u_gl-3.2.so.0: undefined symbol: eglCreatePlatformWindowSurface"

My installation using the upstream flatpak does not have this issue.
