Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.11-3
Severity: important

Starting aptitude fails due to a missing Xapian symbol:

$ aptitude
aptitude: symbol lookup error: aptitude: undefined symbol:
_ZN6Xapian4MSetC1EOS0_

This is probably a bug in the syms in the applicable xapian library package
causing aptitude to get a library dependency that is too weak.

In particular, my system has a recent version of aptitude with an older version
of libxapian30, so there was probably a new symbol introduced in libxapian30
without adjusting the shared library dependency information.
