Hello,It was discovered that VIGRA 1.7.0 (known as libvigraimpex in Debian), broke ABI without bumping SONAME. Unforuntaly, the flawed version has already migrated to testing. As a consequence, lprof, the only rev-dependency of VIGRA, is currently unusable both in unstable and testing (bug #589206).
There are >= 4 ways to fix this bug:0. Undo the changes which broke ABI. Unfortunately, diffs between 1.6 and 1.7 and tracebacks gave me no clue what is the culprit.
1. Just binNMU lprof and forget. This will break partial upgrades, however.
2. Bump SONAME, as upstream did when he was notified about the issue: http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~meine/hg/vigra/rev/9432cb9531ae (Please note that there's no released version with this SONAME yet.)3. Leave SONAME as is, but rename binary package from libvigraimpex2ldbl back to libvigraimpex2. (Binary package libvigraimpex2 did exist only before lenny release.)
Any opinions? -- Jakub Wilk
