Bugzilla Bug 148988

I'm using ~x86 arch, and adeslets segfaults in gdb:

adeslets_installer has problem too:

this is a problem with fontconfig new allocation scheme... A patch already
exists upstream: 

http://adesklets.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=adesklets.git;a=commit;h=bcff137f866fcb05141cc07c82c2e2be3b671213

There are two ways to solve this: either compile adesklets against a
pre-FcFini() fontconfig version (I didn't try everything in portage, but
Fontconfig 2.2.3 works), or patch adesklets 0.6.1 accordingly.

Either way, a new adesklets 0.6.2 release incorporating the changes will be
produced in the next days and submitted for portage inclusion: watch gentoo's
bugzilla.

patch for fontconfig 2.4 compability

Patch for adesklets-0.6.1 to fix fontconfig-2.4 incompability, until new
version released.

Modified ebuild with patch for fontconfig-2.4 compability

Fixed (as new revision). Thanks for the submission!

adesklets log and emerge info

Sorry but it's still an error on my system (with brand new adesklets-0.6.1-r1)
and newest fontconfig (2.4.2). So I assume it should be reopened or should I
open a new entry?
Log attached.

I got wrong my test for detection of fontconfig >= 2.4... re-fixed (as same
revision) :-)
