[Scilab-users] scilab -> Segmentation fault

[Nikolay Strelkov]

Dear Phillipe and all!

I got the same behavior on my laptop.
It has Ubuntu Xenial Xerus 16.04.2 LTS, kernel 4.4.0-81-generic.

nikolay at nikolay-UX32A:~$ dpkg -S `which scilab`
scilab: /usr/bin/scilab
nikolay at nikolay-UX32A:~$ apt-cache policy scilab

There are errors with scilab package on Ubuntu 16.04 (see
https://errors.ubuntu.com/?release=Ubuntu%2016.04&package=scilab&period=year&version=5.5.2-2ubuntu3
), but I do not know which are our. Our should be named like "scilab-bin
crashed with SIGSEGV".

Dear Phillipe, please try to send apport report with
$ apport-cli /var/crash/_usr_bin_scilab-bin.1000.crash
to launchpad.
I can't send it.

What should *we* do?
