Bug#601297: libcairo-ocaml-dev: Cannot compile programs due to outdated cairo-ocaml-dev

[Chris King <colanderman@gmail.com>]

Package: libcairo-ocaml-dev
Version: 20090223-3+b2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I cannot compile any programs which use libcairo-ocaml, due to the following
error:

Error on dynamically loaded library: /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllmlcairo.so:
/usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllmlcairo.so: undefined symbol: caml_ba_byte_size

This appears to be a binary compatibility issue, as addressed here:

This seems to only affect bytecode compilation.
