Package: libept0
Version: 0.5.7
Severity: serious
Hi Enrico,
libept0 has a missing dependency on libxapian, because it uses symbols from
the library without linking against it:
$ ldd /usr/lib/libept.so.0
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00002af0203d2000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002af0205e8000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00002af0208f0000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002af020b72000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002af020ec3000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000555555554000)
$ ldd -d -r /usr/lib/libept.so.0

[...]
This is the cause of the problem reported against debtags; because libept
depends on a particular version of the xapian ABI but doesn't declare this
relationship at the ELF level, it is also not reflected in the package
dependencies and therefore libept is inevitably overlooked when library
transitions happen. This is a missing dependency, a serious bug.
Thanks,
