Hi RMs, libsodium had to change the soname with 1.0.15 due to an API break by the following. "The aes128ctr primitive was removed. It was slow, non-standard, not authenticated, and didn't seem to be used by any opensource project." This is not 100% true, fastd (Fast and Secure Tunnelling Daemon) did use it and doesn't compile with new libsodium releases. Issue is known and has a fix[1] already. Package maintainer Cc-ed (who is also upstream) as a heads-up. pysodium doesn't compile in Sid even, the self-test failure (test_crypto_pwhash) reason is unknown to me. Version 1.0.16 of libsodium is in experimental and built on all relevant architectures. Others are still pending. Especially on kFreeBSD ones that have a big lag. :( Hope this transition can be acknowledged.
