[PROBLEM] Djvulibre on bionic is 3.5.27.1-8 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 to Bionic LTS as part of the development hardware stack long term support. Patch released under 3.5.27.1-11 solves it. (Check reproducibility)

Yours sincerly,

Milvi
