   Bug#1128419: lutris: fails to launch wit   
   19 Feb 26 16:30:01   
   
   From: wanderer@fastmail.fm   
      
   Package: lutris   
   Version: 0.5.19-3   
   Severity: important   
      
   Dear Maintainer,   
      
   After a recent reboot (following a lengthy period during which I did not   
   launch Lutris because it was already running, and I upgraded many   
   packages multiple times against Debian testing), lutris now fails to   
   launch on my system, which with a couple of potentially-important but   
   hopefully-irrelevant caveats (see below) is tracking Debian testing.

   ========   
      
   I have not managed to find any way to track this any further - not even   
   to identfiy what data it is that it's complaining about (unless it's   
   image-missing.svg itself). I have sometimes seen strace produce helpful   
   leads, but in this case I can't make head or tail of what it shows me. I   
   am not sure which library packages I would need to install debug symbols   
   from in order to have a chance of tracing this in a debugger.   
      
   I have, thus far, been unable to find any mentions of these error   
   messages online. I *have* seen some reports of similar-looking   
   Gtk-WARNING messages, which were tracked down to libgdk-pixbuf2 and I   
   think also to the gdk glycin transition, but for those the Gtk:ERROR   
   section was either different or missing entirely.   
      
   I have seen bug reports against other packages (#1128079, at   
   minimum) which suggest that there is currently some type of   
   (uncoordinate or under-coordinated?) transition going on which would   
   involve the libgdk-pixbuf packages; it seems possible that this might be   
   related to that, but I have no way of being certain. I appear to not yet   
   have installed the glycin-related packages which are involved in that   
   transition, but that does not necessarily guarantee anything.   
      
   Complicating the situation - and leading me to hesitate to even file   
   this report - is that after the same reboot, one of my other (and much   
   more day-to-day-essential) nearly-always-running programs started to   
   segfault on launch, and I wound up downgrading several library packages   
   from testing to stable in order to get that working again. I do not   
   think any of those libraries are plausible to be in code paths which   
   would make this plausible to be related to having older or mismatched   
   library versions installed, but I currently have no way to entirely rule   
   that out. The packages involved in that downgrade were primarily   
   related to fontconfig, with dependency-related branching out into pango.   
      
   I am filing this not so much as a request that a fix be provided   
   (although that would certainly be nice), as so that if someone else   
   encounters similar errors, there is a record to be found that they have   
   been seen previously.   
      
   I am filing it as 'important' because the issue makes the package   
   unusable for me, but I have no evidence to indicate that it would break   
   the package for everyone else, and I presume that if that were the case   
   there would already be reports about the matter from other people. I   
   defer to the maintainers' judgment as to whether this severity is   
   appropriate.   
      
   If there is anything I could do to help track this down, please let me   
   know; I'm not willing to do things that would risk breaking my other   
   daily-driver program (and I don't yet have available the sandbox   
   environment I'd need to do the experiments that would let me get out of   
   the need for that downgrade), but I am at least in principle willing to   
   try almost anything short of that.
