Package: snoopy
Version: 2.4.6-4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Dear Maintainer,

With snoopy installed and enabled on jessie, apt upgrade to buster will break 
the upgrade process, as the snoopy library goes missing while the ld preload 
setting persists.  This causes every command invocation to trigger an error 
message concerning the missing library.  

In particular, TUI-based menus about locally changed files will exit with error 
when the "show diff" option is checked, which leaves those packages 
unconfigured.

I was able to recover by uninstalling snoopy after the failed upgrade, 
reconfiguring the unconfigured packages, and re-installing snoopy after apt 
dist-upgrade.
