Re: how to debug (and fix) mutt?



FWIW, I am also on Debian testing and using that versin of mutt.  I'm
having no problems with seg faults.

apt-get should have taken care of upgrading libs on which mutt depends,
but here are the packages you need, along with their current testing
versions:

libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1)  -=>  2.3.5-13
libdb4.3 (>= 4.3.28-1) -=> 4.3.29-4
libgnutls11 (>= 1.0.16) -=> 1.0.16-14
libidn11 (>= 0.5.18) -=> 0.5.18-1
libncursesw5 (>= 5.4-5) -=>  5.5-1
libsasl2 (>= 2.1.19) -=> 2.1.19-1.9
exim4 | mail-transport-agent -=> exim4 is at version 4.60-3

Good luck.
