[Pkg-anonymity-tools] Bug#760075: torsocks: SIGSEGV with torsocks 2.0.0 on some browsers, failure to anonimize others

[js]

Package: torsocks
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

==============================================================================
I upgraded torsocks from the 1.3.3 to 2.0.0 and it either SIGSEV on some browsers
or else fails to anonimize others (in other words, running under tor they cannot
access sites blocked by my firewall)

These are the exact upgrades made:
    Inst tor-geoipdb [0.2.4.22-1] (0.2.4.23-1 Debian:testing [all]) []
    Inst tor [0.2.4.22-1] (0.2.4.23-1 Debian:testing [i386])
    Inst torsocks [1.3-3] (2.0.0-1 Debian:testing [i386])

I retested this by purging torsocks, tor and tor-geipdb and reinstalling
but got the same results:
- midori, iceape, firefox chromium: SIGSEGV; stack trace for midori:
    (gdb) exec-file midori
    (gdb) r

    Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
