Bug#922210: glx-diversions: fails to upgrade to 0.8.8~deb9u1: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error' ... Aborted

[Salvatore Bonaccorso]

Package: glx-diversions
Version: 0.8.8~deb9u1
Severity: serious
Justification: regression

Hi

glx-diversions package update fails from the version in stretch (0.8.3~deb9u1)
to stretch-proposed-updates (0.8.8~deb9u1). The severity is actually a bit
overrated, package can be confgured afterwards, but not checked yet if
something missing.
