Hi, I'm trying to install i3-gaps-deb on a debian sid system. I first install i3, and then clone the full repo and do ./i3-gaps-deb from my root account. Here's the end of the crash log.

Hi,

I'm currently on holiday w/o (real) computer access. I'll have a look at this as soon as I'm back home (in about 3 weeks). Stay tuned...

Hi,

I just checked on a freshly created Debian sid chroot and everything worked w/o any issues.

So, I guess there is nothing I can do for you (as it seems that you are struggling with sth. specific to your setup). Try to check on a (re)fresh(ed) system (if possible)...

Regards, Gerardo
