[Bug 815933] Re: libgvc5 segfaults on installation on armel

[John Ellson]

(I'm the upstream developer, not the Ubuntu packager/maintainer.)

Does this still happen with graphviz-2.28 ?

I don't know what an "armel cowbuilder oneiric" is, but I'm bothered by
the chroot.

During installation, and with installation privileges, "dot -c" is run
to record the available plugins in /usr/lib/graphviz/config6.  This same
config6 file needs to be readable at runtime by any user, and should
never be empty since there are some plugins in the basic package.
