Package: libgnutls30
Version: 3.6.5-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Maintainer,
Sun 20 Jan 2019 10:25:49 PM EST
I upgraded several packages on Jan 16. Since then, many programs
(including cupsd, apt-get, and apt) fail like this:
/usr/lib/apt/methods/http: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.30: undefined symbol:
__gmpz_limbs_write
The file comes in this package:
libgnutls30: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.30
I have two copies of this package installed:
jrv@home:/usr/local/src/octave/octave-4.4.1$ dpkg -l libgnutls30

Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

+++-=================-============-============-======================================
ii libgnutls30:amd64 3.6.5-2 amd64 GNU TLS library - main
runtime library
ii libgnutls30:i386 3.6.5-2 i386 GNU TLS library - main
runtime library
...corresponding to the two architectures installed here:
jrv@home:~/Downloads$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64
jrv@home:~/Downloads$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
I found a partial workaround, as follows:
I found libgnutls30 packages of version 3.5.19 in my backups.
Installing just the amd64 package (with dpkg) failed:
package libgnutls30:amd64 3.5.19-1 cannot be configured because
libgnutls30:i386 is at a different version (3.6.5-2)
However, installing both architectures together succeeded:
$ dpkg -l libgnutls30

cupsd will now run (so I can print again).
apt-get also runs, but complains about versions being out of sync:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages
(or specify a solution).
I suspect a missing dependency, but I've not been able to identify it.
Evidently some libraries are out of sync, but I can't be sure which package
should be held responsible. Since apt-get is affected, I think the problem
qualifies as "critical".
My attempts to track down the problem follow...
>From /var/log/history.log, those packages were upgraded on Jan 16:

Searching for libraries that refer to that symbol:
jrv@home:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ grep __gmpz_limbs_write

...so it's apparently not used or defined in version 3.5.19-1 of that file.
(It also wasn't mentioned in version 3.6.5-2 of the file.)

would fix the system. Any suggestions would ba welcome. If I can
supply more information, let me know.
