Package: libappstream0
Version: 0.6-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

 libappstream0 was updated in Debian testing from 0.5-1 to 0.6-1, while apper
remained version 0.8.1-1.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Upgrade was performed with apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Apper crashes when trying to show a list of installed packages, producing an
error when run from a terminal:

apper: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/apper/libapper.so: undefined symbol:
appstream_database_new

Same problem causes plasma-desktop to crash periodically, if system updates
(from apper) are enabled in the system tray settings. When run from the
terminal, plasma-desktop shows the same error before disappearing:

plasma-desktop: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/apper/libapper.so: undefined
symbol: appstream_database_new

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Apper and plasma-desktop had to work without crashing. To avoid that,
libappstream0 probably had to be updated together with apper that could support
new ABI.
