This bug has now been reported in Debian (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647311), along with a new patch so that tickr can build with ld --as-needed.

This appears to be fixed in Debian and we should be importing the package automatically in about 6 days, once it gets promoted to Debian testing -- I'll mark this Fix Committed for now; to note the FTBFS bug was looked at.

This bug was fixed in the package tickr - 0.5.4-1

---------------
tickr (0.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix sort_url_list(EMPTY_LIST) falsly returning one element list
    (in news_list.c.) Now, program doesn't hang anymore if lauched with
    no feed URLs selected.

  * Add in news_main.c: shift2left_callback():
    env->suspend_rq = TRUE / (cairo drawing code) / env->suspend_rq = FALSE

  * Tickr fails to build with ld --as-needed (recently-set-as-default
    linker flag) because libraries must be placed after objects needing
    theirs symbols.
    To fix that, we use autoconf macro PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK2, gtk+-2.0, ,)
    and PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XML2, libxml-2.0, ,) in configure.ac, and we
    may so remove `pkg-config --libs GTK+-2.0' and `xml-config --libs' from
    src/tickr/Makefile.am.
