Dear Maintainer, I already used chessx, but it has been a while I used it for the last time. I launched it from the menu (xfce), but nothing happened. Launching it from a terminal, I figured out that there was a segfault. I have no idea of what causes this issue. Thanks for your help and work, Dimitri
Hi, There is a new version in git, but no silver bullet. I builds, but it segfault immediately sometimes with "Fatal glibc error: malloc.c:4241 (_int_malloc): assertion failed: (unsigned long) (size) >= (unsigned long) (nb)"---- chessx (1.6.10-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium TODO: segfaults immediatly * Team upload * Add debian/salsa-ci.yml * Switch to debhelper-compat 14 * New upstream version 1.6.10
