  ---------------------------------

  [PROBLEM] Djvulibre version 3.5.27.1-8/bionic crashes immediately on intel Atom based processors. (I got a J5005 pentium ).
  Doesn't crash on a  Intel® Core™ i7-7567U.

  Due to this bug https://sourceforge.net/p/djvu/bugs/293/ ,

  and fixed in commit 8407dd, on the 7th of October 2018.

  From git tags, it is included in 3.5.27.1-11 (probably version xxx
  -10, though I cannot see this tag in git history)

  I notice that no dependency change affects any of the versions to the
  build process up to Disco (3.5.27.1-10)

  For intel J5005 (or N5000 on other popular machines ) this bug renders
  the package useless.

  Indeed, it crashes immediately at application startup. Note that this
  affects rdependencies such as evince, djview4.

  I suggest upgrading the version available for Bionic LTS as part of
  the development hardware stack long term support to 3.5.27.1-11.

  Yours sincerly,

  Milvi
