Thanks for checking up on that. Usually symbols like that are intended as private symbols; perhaps upstream or you could work upstream on hiding these symbols so they can rename/remove them without having to bump the SONAME. I believe gcc's -fvisability or a linker script ought to do the trick. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
