Package: synergy Version: 1.4.16-1.2 Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Synergy client(synergyc) shipped by Debian fails to start on both Jessie and Stretch for me on my ARM-based chromebook.

Multiple reports from other Debian ARM users submitted upstream.

https://github.com/symless/synergy/issues/5504

Issue may not limited to ARM though, upstream resolution is in this bug report which doesn't menion arch.

https://github.com/symless/synergy/issues/5068

Bug is triggered when XQueryBestCursor returns 0 for both width and height.

There is a fix upstream but only for a recent version of synergy.

https://github.com/symless/synergy/commit/723a8a919570b3e3faa5ac430e675f14945e1951

The filenames seem to have been changed in recent releases so I made the appropriate changes to this file in the debian sources.

I have created and tested a custom package with the above patch on Stretch and can confirm that it works fine.

I was originally on Jessie when I encountered the bug, but since I had a bunch of packages from Stretch installed on my system, decided to do a dist-upgrade to eliminate the chance of my system alone being broken.

Found that synergyc failed in the same way after upgrading to Stretch too.

So the patch needs to be applied to both 1.4.16-1 in Jessie and 1.4.16-1.2 in Stretch (I haven't tested on Jessie.)

Sorry, pasted the same bug report twice in the original submission.

Here are the 2 bug reports submitted upstream for the same version shipped by Debian.

https://github.com/symless/synergy/issues/5504 (Debian)

and

https://github.com/symless/synergy/issues/5322 (2 reports from Debian/debian based distros.)

I have accepted this change and the upload has been made to unstable. This should hopefully migrate to stretch/testing as the Release team works through their queue during the freeze. You can see bug #855146 to follow the migration process.

I still intend to follow up with a jessie update through the stable-proposed-updates channel. I'll provide one more update to this bug once I've taken action.
