Thanks for the report! This is caused by special handling of the libntfs-3g841 library in Debian, source package ntfs-3g. IMHO, this should be improved in ntfs-3g, since library handling in Debian is supposed to have a lib* binary package that can still be installed after a new ABI version is available. Having only ntfs-3g will always break things when new libntfs-3g* versions become available since only one of them is provided at a time by ntfs-3g. Therefore, reassigning to ntfs-3g. If this is intended, please just reassign back to testdisk and explain. AFAICS, the problem can't be solved in testdisk for the different experimental version of ntfs-3g, so we would need to wait for the new ntfs-3g in unstable at which point testdisk would need to be rebuilt against the new ABI.
