I think the options are to either bump the SONAME for the dropped symbol, or add an rk_closefrom wrapper around the glibc closefrom to keep the same ABI. (Or break the ABI without changing the SONAME on the grounds that only a few packages use it, but I'm pretty hesitant to recommend doing that since who knows what outside of Debian might break and we try hard not to do that.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
