I just installed Kicad on Fedora 22 from https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/mangelajo/kicad/ and it crashes when I try to browse a footprint.
It works if I add a local mod file, then I can browse that, but online github pretty repo’en make kicad crash.
This is the output from terminal:

What to do?
