** Description changed:
[Impact]
- Users trying to build software that links w/ jammy's libjsoncpp library will
hit a build failure if that software uses cmake and another library that also
requires libjsoncpp. This can be reproduced by building a a new version of
cmake itself (reproduced w/ today's master, as well as going back to the 3.27.4
release).
+ Users trying to build software that links w/ jammy's libjsoncpp library will
hit a build failure if that software uses cmake and another library that also
requires libjsoncpp because libjsoncpp's cmake config does not protect against
duplicate imports. This can be reproduced by building a a newer version of
cmake itself using system libjsoncpp (I was trying to build 3.27.4, but I also
checked that it impacts cmake master).
[Test Case]
This can be demonstrated by calling find_package twice in a row:
$ mkdir test && cd test
$ cat > CMakeLists.txt << EOF
project(test)
find_package(jsoncpp 1.9.5)
find_package(jsoncpp 1.9.5)
EOF
$ cmake .

[ What Could Go Wrong ]
We could cause reverse dependencies to fail to build from source due to an
inadvertent error. We can mitigate this by doing a test rebuild of the reverse
dependencies.
