Citra is broken by external package

Citra fails to start with a ROM. Output:

This issue is related to an external package changing. The public v1.0.0 is not affected, but will produce this error when rebuilt. Only the last line of the logs is different from a successful start.

Ideas: One of the SDL2 packages changed or an OpenGL driver or maybe it's the display server?

Since the issue is display related it can only be caused by one of the following packages or their dependencies.

The installed versions in the working image are as follows:

libgl1-mesa-dri:
  Installed: 10.3.2-1+deb8u1
--
menu:
  Installed: 2.1.47
--
net-tools:
  Installed: 1.60-26+b1
--

  Installed: 1:0.3.7-1+b3
--
libsdl2-2.0-0:
  Installed: 2.0.2+dfsg1-6

The fix could be to either fix their versions or update the config files (maybe).

[ahoischen]

I was able to build a working image by fixing all mentioned versions. This isn't a permanent solution, however, since it depends on outdated versions being kept available. The next step is to narrow down which package is causing problems and then (hopefully) to find a fix.

The issue seems to be with newstable's libsdl2-2.0-0. I think just fixing the version is fine since it's available on oldstable.
