Title:
  [SRU] librcc segfaults on latest saucy

Status in “librcc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “librcc” source package in Saucy:
  New

Bug description:
  REQUEST FOR STABLE RELEASE UPDATE IN SAUCY:

  I updated my system this morning and opened mocp in a UXTerm.  Instead
  of opening, mocp immediately segfaulted. I deleted my ~/.moc folder,
  hoping that my profile had become corrupted and that a fresh start
  would solve the problem.  Unfortunately, the problem persists.

  This is part of the backtrace:

  #0 __strcmp_sse2 () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/../strcmp.S:212
  #1 0x00007faafc8a320a in rccGetDefaultLanguage (ctx=0x198d700) at lng.c:115

  This was fixed upstream and the patch got uploaded to Trusty.

  [TEST CASE]

  In Saucy:

  Install moc
  This will pull librcc0 as dependency
  Start mocp
  Instead of the interface you will see a segfault

  Then install fixed package from
  https://launchpad.net/~amoog/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/3665738/+listing-
  archive-extra

  Start mocp again
  You will now see mocp's interface

  [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
  The only reverse depends of librcc seems to be moc, which doesn't work at all currently. So the potential for a worsening of the situation is very low.
