Are you sure that you don't talk about
  libsynctex***1***
here?

The first version that went into unstable shipped the synctex library as
libsynctex1, which was bad since upstream broke the API without soname
bump. I have re-uploaded with bumped soname so now we have libsynctex2.

texworks is still linked against libsynctex1, texmaker the same.

Please install libsynctex***1*** from ***testing*** and all this will be
fixed. Make sure by setting it to hold that it is not updated.
I have already filed a request for removal for libsynctex1 from
unstable.

Thanks

Norbert
