Bug#430705: python-vte: segfault on startup

[James Westby]

Package: python-vte
Version: 1:0.16.6-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

On my system at least the current python-vte is unusable, as it
segfaults in initvte. This means that applications using the library die
on startup (pida for instance). libvte itself works fine.

Recompiling the package locally solved the problem, so perhaps a binNMU
would be useful.

Thanks,

James
