I checked the Packages file, which shows only xapian-core and
xapian-omega with dependencies on libxapian30 so that's not hard
to coordinate.

[Olly Betts]

So if I understand the issue correctly, it's that libxapian30 in
unstable is built with the new C++ ABI while libxapian30 in backports
was built with the old C++ ABI, so really should have been libxapian30v4
or something (not sure if there's a reverse convention to the v5
suffix)?

Sorry for not spotting that when I did the backport.  It worked fine in
my testing in a jessie environment - I guess you only see problems if
you try to run a mixed jessie/stretch environment.  Or perhaps if you
try to do the upgrade to stretch using aptitude.

That addresses this for aptitude, but not other rdeps.  It's perhaps a
worse issue for aptitude, as you don't want your package management tool
broken while trying to upgrade packages.

This seems to address the wider problem, but rather feels like it's
addressing it in the wrong place.

I can try to fix the xapian-core version in backports, but that only
helps people with 1.4.1-1~bpo8+1 installed if they upgrade from
backports before trying to mix in packages from stretch.

Not sure quite how much work that would be - it'll require coordinating
uploads of the rdeps using the backported xapian-core, but I don't know
of the top of my head how to get a list of those.  I know there's
xapian-omega; I thought notmuch was too, but that still seems to be on
libxapian22.

Cloning this bug report accordingly against libstdc++6.

Debian Release Team: Feel free to downgrade the severity of the cloned
bug report. For now, I leave it at RC.

True, but this is not aptitude's call.  The way to achieve it is to bump
shlibs in libxapian30 and rebuild its reverse dependencies.

That's probably the most realistic way considering the proximity of the
stretch release.

I wouldn't be so quick with reassigning.

Hrm, this sounds to me as if aptitude's dependency on libxapian30
should be more tight.

Or maybe even better: libstdc++6 should break with this version of
libxapian30 from backports.

Ok, yes, but that doesn't really help to solve this issue. :-/

This happens because libxapian30 from jessie-backports is not compatible
with libstdc++6 from unstable (and should not have been uploaded to
jessie-backports in the first place, or under a different package name).
See #791312 for more information.

Leandro, upgrade libxapian30 to the stretch version, and you should be
fine.

Buongiorno,

I upgraded aptitude some minutes from stable to testing (for the new version 
that will arrive soon) but it gives me this error:
