Bug#757605: libfreerdp1: changes to soname cause remmina RDP plugin to fail

 I guess, the approach needs to be:
 
   (a) provide proper shared libs packages for each libfreerdp-* and
 libwinpr-* shared lib
   (b) make remmina et al. use generic .so files (libfreerdp-*.so).
 
 Furthermore, we need to check with Remmina upstream about compatibility [1].
 
 If those strategies fail, I will provide a libfreerdp-1-0 src:package that
 provides the required libfreerdp-*.so.1.0 files.
 
I don't think shipping multiple copies of freerdp is a workable
solution.  This bug needs to be fixed ASAP, and FWIW I think the easiest
way to do that is to go back to older freerdp.

Cheers,
Julien

Problem with going back is: there are already packages which have been
built using the new GIT-based version and depend on features introduced
with that.

In the current state you cannot win , no matter what direction you move in.

If you go back you break those packages (like vlc) again (which will
need a sourceful upload to be fixed, as far as I can see) or you move
forward and resolve the remaining breakage, mainly in remmina.

Sven.
