What is the output of ls -al /usr/bin | grep links and of ls -al /etc/alternatives | grep links Btw, don't you put the web address after the command? Like e.g.: links wiki.mageia.org (Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package.) CC:

thanks for looking into this.

Yes, I usually do add a url but it was not necesary for a minimal example

Hi, Does the problem still occur if you rename or delete the file $HOME/.links/cookies? That file is not empty, is it? If the issue occurs when that file exists and is not empty, then the problem comes from the patches "links-2.15-cookies-save.patch" and "links-2.15-fix-segfault-on-loading-cookies.patch" that I modified to allow building links 2.15, in the function "void init_cookies(void)". Best regards, Nico. Moved the file aside. It was empty but the program still seg faults. Brian Does the problem still occur if you rename the directory $HOME/.links? Yes, if I move the entire directory aside it works (and creates a new directory). Thanks very much for fixing this and for your work on Magaia. Brian Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].

Description of problem: The 4th May upgrade did not yield a run'able links at least on my system. I am running Mageia6 % uname -a Linux xxxxxx 4.14.30-desktop-3.mga6 #1 SMP Sun Mar 25 22:17:31 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux with % rpm -qa | grep links links-common-2.15-3.mga6 links-2.15-3.mga6 However running /usr/bin/links after the 4th May upgrade yields % /usr/bin/links Segmentation fault (core dumped) definitely worked as usual before 4th May.
