Thanks, I've uploaded a fixed package. I'm attaching the diff (which
applies on 0.9.3-5.3) — I don't think there's any point in integrating
it for future uploads :-).

Thanks!

Oh dear, sorry for the mess :(

I can work on that if needed, but if you are ready please go ahead.

Yes, I'll look into it once the main problem is addressed.

I'm preparing an NMU to revert to 0.9.3 (so the version will end up
being 0.9.6+really0.9.3 since I need to re-upload an orig tarball).

Manuel, if you want to re-do the transition, you can simply use
version 0.9.6+really0.9.6, until 0.9.7 is released.

Bug#825471: libunistring0: soname change without package name change

[Andreas Metzler]

Package: libunistring0
Version: 0.9.6-1.1
Severity: serious

0.9.6-1.1 features a soname bump from libunistring.so.0 to
libunistring.so.2, without changing the package name and making a
library transition. This breaks all reverse dependencies, e.g.:

(sid)ametzler@argenau:~$ ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libguile-2.0.so \ |
  grep unis
libunistring.so.0 => not found


ametzler@argenau:/chroots/sid/var/cache/apt/archives$ ls libunistring0_*
