Thanks for the bug report. We're still working out how to handle this
issue. The plan is to do an so bump to version 4 of the bobcat library. Some
time ago (early August) Debian's experimental distro offered a g++ 5 release
that indeed created a library in which the public symbols were changed. We
think that bumping the so version, in line with an earlier e-mail by Matthias,
effectively handlres the new symbols issue. However, by now the g++ 5 compiler
no longer is available in Debian's experimental distribution, but only in
Debian's stretch (testing) and sid(unstable) distros, and these compilers
don't use the new naming conventions. Right now Tony and I are figuring out a
strategy for handling this complication, but we're not done yet. This reaction
is primarily to inform you that we're not ignoring the issue, but in fact are
actively trying to find an adequate solution.
Cheers,
