After the latest upgrades to Sid. I am getting a segmentation fault
running (or trying to run) my mail reader Sylpheed.
Where to start looking ??

have you logged out and back in yet? restarted X yet? maybe even
restarted the machine yet?
that's where I'd start.

I have since discovered I can run Sylpheed as root.

FYI: I'm seeing similar problems with Iceweasel. I can run it as root,
or I can run it from within Icewm, but I can not run it as normal user
from within KDE.

Use reportbug to report the bug.
Then downgrade libgkt2.0 to 2.12.10-2 that will solve the problem for
now.

hmmm... permissions issue that causes a segfault? that's ugly. you
might look at the last few lines of an strace to see what it's trying
to access that cuases the segfault.
that's all I got.

Frank,
I can't tell if you still have the issue or not, but if you do, open a term
and type "sylpheed" or "claws-mail" if you are running claws. What does that
exit message say?
if it only shows "segmentation fault", then issue strace sylpheed then look
through the last part of strace to see what is killing slypheed.

Bug report on it's way
What's the easiest way to downgrade? I have never had to do this.

Using aptitude is the easiest way.
If you select the libgtk row and press enter will the description show
up. At the bottom of the page are the "Versions of libgtk" listed.
Select the row of the version you want and use + on the numeric keypad
to select it and then g to install.
= to put packets on hold to prevent them from being updated can also be
useful.
