Bug#784166: widelands: Game crashes on song change

[Alex Henry]

Thank you for taking the time to look into the issue! I wish I could
downgrade the libboost packages needed to compile the source code to see if
the build would have the bug or not. They are not in the dependencies but
are on the build-deps: https://packages.debian.org/source/jessie/widelands

I am actually running Squeeze with some packages from Stretch.
Unfortunately I got myself into a sort of a deadlock with that and need to
reinstall the system from scratch.

I did a manual build from the source code and the game runs fine, with
these exact packages you listed for me. I am still suspecting the problem
to be libboost (check the bug report I mentioned earlier for why) even
though I can't be sure. I guess I should probably close the bug if we
cannot reproduce it, since it could be due to my weird package mix?

One last question: did you try to install the amd64 version specifically?
I'm not sure how the multi-arch support works these days. If not, would it
be easy for you to try to do it?
