Description Dirk Schnelle-Walka 2014-02-18 13:24:20 UTC
Description of problem:

Trousers is relying on the shared library libtspi. This library exports the method list_init. This name is too general and is likely to cause conflicts with other shared libraries. In the end this will cause crashes in applications that rely on this library as well as on other libraries exporting the same name.

A bug report has been filed to the trousers team years ago http://sourceforge.net/p/trousers/bugs/106/

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libtspi.so.1

How reproducible:

nm -D /lib/libtspi.so.1 | grep list

Additional info:

I found that it clashes with ffmpeg but was not able to find the excact cause.
