Package: pommed
Version:  1.2~dfsg-1

Dependency: libsmbios1
Version:        0.13.4-1

Pommed fails to start (with "sudo /etc/init.d/pommed start") on my MacBook 
(CD, 1.83GHz) with the error message:

"Starting pommed: /usr/sbin/pommed: Symbol lookup 
error: /usr/lib/libsmbios.so.1: undefined symbol: __cxa_pure_virtual"

Restarting with "sudo /etc/init.d/pommed/restart" gives no error message, but 
the special keys don't work in that case. When reinstalling 'pommed', the 
same error message appears, followed by

"invoke-rc.d: initscript pommed, action "start" failed."

I'm running a current Debian unstable (Sid) with 2.6.18-4-686 kernel (version 
2.6.18.dfsg.1-12).  I upgraded to Sid from Etch just recently (2 April 2007), 
running the same kernel, where I had installed the above 'pommed' 
and 'libsmbios1' (as well as the 'libconfuse0' dependency) manually, since 
these are not available in Etch. Pommed then ran fine, with all the F1--F5 
and Eject keys working. Even some months before that I had the 'mbpeventd' 
package similarly working fine.

Julien Blache says in answer to some other bug that kernel 2.6.19 is required 
for 'pommed' to run, but that has not been my experience on the original 
MacBook  CoreDuo. The above problem seems related to the dependency 
package 'libsmbios1'.
