Package: virt-viewer
Version: 4.0-1
Severity: important

This bug is in gir1.2-pango-1.0 or related. but read below.

I am even not fully sure which library it is exactly. It was not
possible to downgrade one package after another. So possible candidates
are:
- - gir1.2-freedesktop
- - gir1.2-glib-2.0
- - gir1.2-gtk-3.0
- - gir1.2-pango-1.0
- - libglib2.0-0
- - libgtk-3-0
- - libgtk-3-common
- - libpango-1.0-0
- - libpango1.0-0
- - libpangocairo-1.0-0
- - libpangoft2-1.0-0
- - libpangoxft-1.0-0

To the bug itself:

When starting virt-viewer after an upgrade of the libraries above, the
screen content is not updated anymore. Nor is it displayed correctly.
The only message that is seen is (wording not necessarily correct, I
report it from my memory.) "Waiting for graphic server" and nothing
happens anymore.

I was not able to test effects to other software before downgrading as I
am depending on virt-viewer.

Sorry to file this bug against virt-viewer. I first filed it against
gir1.2-pango-1.0 with the note that it can be reassigned to the real
package but Michael Biebl is so stupid to just ignore the bug and does
just blame all other packages involved just not "his" gir1.2-pango-1.0.
(See #836362.)

I don't think that this bug is in virt-viewer itself as it was triggered
by an update of one of the above packages that cannot be updated
independently. But I see no other way than filling it against
virt-viewer. Nevertheless, there is a small change that it is in this
package.
