Package: libdvdnav4
Version: 4.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Currently, packages compiled against libdvdnav has

 Depends: libdvdnav4

in their control file.  But the thing is that there were several versions
of libdvdnav4 out there.  For example, squeeze also has libdvdnav4.  The
problem is that packages compiled against wheezy version of libdvdnav4,
according to dpkg/apt, can be satisfied by libdvdnav4 from squeeze (ie,
older version).  Which does not provide some symbols provided by libdvdnav4
from wheezy.  In particular, dvdnav_get_video_resolution is not provided
by squeeze version.  As a result:

$ ldd -r /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libdvdnav_plugin.so
...
        libdvdnav.so.4 => /usr/lib/libdvdnav.so.4 (0xf778b000)
undefined symbol: dvdnav_get_video_resolution   
(/usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libdvdnav_plugin.so)

for vlc package from wheezy.

I understand that "some" packages from testing in a stable distribution
is an unsupported configuration, but the packaging bug is present anyway.

Thank you!
