Yeah, this all seems like an exercise in futility at this point. I see very little benefit in continuing to maintain the symbols file given that all of the dependent packages are usually updated lockstep and are managed by the same upstreams. Any objections to me dropping the symbols file? -- Kunal P.S. Thanks for all your work and help in getting libzim/libkiwix to exist properly in Ubuntu.
