Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.8.9-2
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hello Sebastien,

At my office, I encounter the same bad situation as describe in this br #345313 but also seems related to #321832.
(so fill free to requalify it)

I tried first to replace firefox by mozilla web browser:
     o mozilla seems to works fine ;-)
     o but other mentioned gui still failled ;_(

Analysing the upgrade of the moment, I finaly figure out that only:
dpkg -i libgtk2.0-common_2.6.10-1_all.deb \
         libgtk2.0-bin_2.6.10-1_i386.deb \
         libgtk2.0-0_2.6.10-1_i386.deb \
         libgtk2.0-doc_2.6.10-1_all.deb

help to restore an operational situation?

Fwiw, at home, I have another unstable debian install on same i386 arch
which works fine (but firefox was never installed on it?):

I also try to analyse a core dump:

Too bad ;<(

The best I can do so would be sent you 2 strace logs:
         o the failing one (Gftp-Strc.doc)
         o the one working with old libgtk2.0
         (Gftp-Strc-OldLibGtk2.0.doc)
though.

TIA,
     Joel

PS1: I also tried to remove all ttf on my i386 (i.e.
dpkg -P msttcorefonts
dpkg -P ttf-freefont
dpkg -P ttf-bitstream-vera
but it didn't help.

PS2: nevertheless it seems well to be a font pb: on 2 different
platforms it takes a long time to show some frame of the
app (some boxes, ...) but any text?

PS3: At the office always, I have got a similar pb on hppa
(unstable too on which I never installed firefox) while trying:
# gftp
gFTP Warning: Skipping line 229 in config file: entropy_source
gFTP Warning: Skipping line 232 in config file: entropy_len
gFTP Warning: Skipping line 235 in config file: verify_ssl_peer
Segmentation fault

or also

(gdb)

fwiw, here at home, I tried exactly the same test (i.e. launch gftp and gdmsetup
from another hppa debian unstable install boxe) without any pb???

Just a thought:
	o here at home my X env is a Xfce runing on a i386 debian unstable install
	o at my office my X env is a hpux-11.00 CDE?

Could it be what makes the difference, though?
