I had a look, but discovered that the symbol set in the libsqlcipher0 package has change so much between version 3.4.1 and 4.5.5 that the build fail. I suspect this mean a soname transition is needed. I have too little experience with maintaining a shared library to feel comfortable to do this without further research. Perhaps you can help? I upgraded to version 3.4.2 in git, and this did not break the build. A small set of symbols were added to the library, and I updated debian/libsqlcipher0.symbols with the list. Not sure if any of them should be optional, so I have not uploaded this new version yet. Perhaps it should go to experimental, or is it better to just move directly to 4.5.5? Note, several of the patches did not apply in 4.5.5, so that will require some investigation too. On the positive side, I tested a non-Debian build of 4.5.5 and was able to read messages from the encrypted Signal database, so I now know a newer version will solve my problem. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
