Hello dear release team rrdtool bumped its soname for 4 to 8 in version 1.6. The library is now thead safe, so that librrd_th.so is gone. Regular librrd.so should be used whether thread safety is required or not. Inside this library, the symbol removal does not affect any of Debian architectures. Only non-posix ones are impacted. rrdtool version 1.6 is now in experimental. The "auto-rrdtool transition" [1] lists the 10 packages that will need to be bin-nmu'd: title = "rrdtool"; is_affected = .depends ~ "librrd4" | .depends ~ "librrd8"; is_good = .depends ~ "librrd8"; is_bad = .depends ~ "librrd4"; Library packages are co-installable. All 8 packages that built from source still do with version 1.6. I don't expect any trouble. The only bug I could find is about collectd, currently FTBFS, that will display a bogus message during compilation, and will performed its own mutex locking at runtime. See #823012 and #822397. Please tell me when it's ok to upload to unstable.
