Ittvis offers this solution @ http://www.ittvis.com/services/techtip.asp?ttid=4177
for the segfault problem for Debian and its variant Ubuntu.
$sudo dpkg -i libx11-6_1.0.3-6_i386.deb
This doesn't necessarily solve the problem, for, packages can have
interdependencies and hence as a result of unmet dependencies, the
above command alone won't work. One would wonder what to do then and
should know the OS specific version # ( for Ubuntu and Debian GNU/
Linux) of the package. Forcing the package to be installed would often
do more harm than good and as a reult one can break the system..
An easy, simple way would be to go to the synaptic package manager:
#1. Open up the synaptic package manager from the desktop menu or
type: 'sudo synaptic' from the prompt.
#2. highlight the libx11-6 client library from the list of available
packages. It will show you the current version installed and the
latest version and a brief description of the package.
#3. click on the 'package' menu item and go to 'force version' and it
will show you the current installed version and other prior version
from the repositories. You can then choose the previous version to
roll back. The package manager would also let you know about the
dependencies and tell you what packages will be affected, if one
chooses to explore further. For example:
Latest libx11-6 version (I am running Ubuntu dapper)
2:1.0.0-0ubuntu9.1 and I downgraded to 2:1.0.0-0ubuntu9 and the
segfault problem vanishes (tv,xloadct works fine).
