After upgrading to pango-1.42.4 some of my Java apps started to repeatably segfault; research led me to the linked Debian bug. I applied a post-release commit from mainline and this fixed the crash. A GitHub PR with this patch and revbump can be merged at: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/10388 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge pango-1.42.4 2. start e.g. RSSOwl or eclipse 3. segfault! Expected Results: No segfaults.
And of course updating the PR with this bug has auto-closed the PR. New PR in a moment..

Pango 1.43 is out and has the fix for this bug: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pango/1.43/pango-1.43.0.news
It is a development cycle release and will not be packaged in ~arch (possibly at some point in the further future it might be in p.mask). I will do a patchset for 1.42.x at some point if 1.42.5 doesn't get released by the time I get to it.
(In reply to Mart Raudsepp from comment #4) > It is a development cycle release and will not be packaged in ~arch Good to know (makes sense), but in the meantime why not just press the button on the PR?
There is no such functional button in github, as the git tree is a read-only mirror. But if there is to be a revbump, I want to include more backports into the patchset, not just this. Sorry I didn't really notice this bug entry before late January (and I don't look at github notifications from Gentoo).
