Package: libappstream0
Version: 0.6-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
libappstream0 was updated in Debian testing from 0.5-1 to 0.6-1, while apper
remained version 0.8.1-1.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Upgrade was performed with apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
* What was the outcome of this action?
Apper crashes when trying to show a list of installed packages, producing an
error when run from a terminal:
apper: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/apper/libapper.so: undefined symbol:
appstream_database_new
Same problem causes plasma-desktop to crash periodically, if system updates
(from apper) are enabled in the system tray settings. When run from the
terminal, plasma-desktop shows the same error before disappearing:
plasma-desktop: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/apper/libapper.so: undefined
symbol: appstream_database_new
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Apper and plasma-desktop had to work without crashing. To avoid that,
libappstream0 probably had to be updated together with apper that could support
new ABI.
