aMule does not open on Xenial Xerus while using the priscilla skin

Italian text: il problema è nel tema dell'interfaccia denominato "priscilla", cambiando tema amule funziona.

When select theme priscilla:

SSERT INFO:
../src/generic/imaglist.cpp(66): assert "(bitmap.GetWidth() >= m_width && bitmap.GetHeight() == m_height) || (m_width == 0 && m_height == 0)" failed in Add(): invalid bitmap size in wxImageList: this might work on this platform but definitely won't under Windows.

I have tried to copy theme files from stable but same result.

Is this a problem with the most recent upstream amule version? Notice that ubuntu is packaging a git snapshot at the moment.
May it be a difference in the package compilation for the ubuntu flavor? (i.e. wxGTK2 version)

Yes, on Ubuntu 15.10 amule is compiled wit GTK2:

2016-02-11 11:00:05: Initialising aMule SVN compiled with wxGTK2 v2.8.12 (Snapshot: rev. 10835)

Is upstream amule (the one at http://www.amule.org/) also experiencing the same problems when compiled against a recent version of wxGTK? can this be a problem in amule upstream and not ubuntu itself?

If a problem upstream, then please fill up a bug report for them to notice it and link it here. Ubuntu could also temporarily change it's dependencies to pin compile with a previous version of wxGTK.

If instead, upstream amule works properly, then we may be looking at some other type of problem here.

I have had a look at amule's bugtracker [1] and they seem to have already ported it to wxGTK 3 [2].
The new version is not only in xenial but, supposedly, in debian too [3]

This seems to be a different type of bug; I suggest you to fill up a report directly to amule's bug tracking tool [1] and please add a link to it here.

Thanks!

Ho aperto un topic nel forum di amule: http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=21297.0;topicseen a quanto sembra è una immagine del tema priscilla ad avere una dimensione sbagliata.

Hi. Some of the sentences in this bug report are not in English. If they were translated to English they would be more understandable to triagers. Could you please translate them?

From the link, it seems that this bug only happens with a user-installed, and not default, amule skin: priscilla. Is the error happening to you with the default amule skin?

Sul forum di amule hanno risposto che il problema è stato corretto (oltre a qualche altro dettaglio9 il link a github lo ho postato, spero che a breve venga caricato nei repo di xenial

On github the bug is corrected (see previous link!) please update!

I think that ubuntu syncs the amule package from debian. It would be better to ask for a package update there:
