The symbols are the same, so the ABI should be both forward and backwards compatible. See my discussion about a similar issue in: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542512#45 Do you see any problem there? > I suppose that there is some way to generate both versioned and > unversioned symbols with appropriate linker magic, but I have not been > able to do it. That happens by default. Tools linked with versioned libraries will get a warning with (dynamically) linked to un-versioned libraries, though, but that is not really an ABI issue as far as I can tell. It is a problem in the binary that is linked to libgsasl. I'll release upstream libidn 1.17 as an alpha release and upload it to experimental today -- if there is no concerns with it, I'll announce 1.17 as a real release and upload to unstable when I return from vacation. This should give you (and others) time to look into this further. /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
