tags 672066 wheezy-ignore thanks This bug was originally filed at serious severity because it caused a build failure in the mumble package. The mumble package, which is the sole reverse-build-dependency of zeroc-ice, has since worked around this issue by hard-coding use of gcc-4.6 while building. Thus, the RC severity is no longer justified for wheezy; and since, per the bug log, a proper fix breaks the library ABI in a backwards-incompatible fashion (which I've confirmed for myself here), this isn't something that we want to "fix" during the freeze. Anyone using zeroc-ice for building applications other than mumble can simply use the same approach for wheezy of using gcc-4.6 or earlier.
Post-wheezy, it is likely that gcc-4.6 will no longer be included and this bug will again require attention for jessie. For this reason, I'm marking the bug 'wheezy-ignore' rather than downgrading it. Hopefully once wheezy is out, an upstream fix will be available with a proper SONAME bump for this issue. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
