+ [Impact]
+ 
+   * In a plain, new Bacula installation on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial
+ (packages: bacula-director-sqlite3, bacula-sd-sqlite3, bacula-fd,
+ bacula-console) the "bconsole" client program is not able to complete
+ its connection to the Bacula Director, but fails with:
  
  # bconsole
  Connecting to Director localhost:9101
  Director authorization problem.
  Most likely the passwords do not agree.
  If you are using TLS, there may have been a certificate validation error 
during the TLS handshake.
  Please see

 for help.
  
  The bug in #508382 sounds very similar, but recompiling with empty
  LDFLAGS does not fix it.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Install bacula-console and attempt to run `bconsole`. It will fail to
+ connect with an "authorization problem" (which is actually not the
+ case). The fixed package will succesfully connect.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * The fix for this bug is to change the linker flags (via
+ DEB_MAINT_LDFLAGS_STRIP) to remove -Bsymbolic-functions. The reason this
+ fix is necessary is explained by the upstream maintainer in:
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bacula/+bug/1553563/comments/21.
+ 
+  * The regression potential seems low, as it only affects bacula's
+ internal code, which currently does not work at all.
