You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Please backport libzstd 1.3.1+dfsg-1 (universe) from artful to xenial.

Reason for the backport:
========================
Current version in Xenial is v0.5.1,
it's an experimental version, using its own, incompatible format.
As a consequence, zstd on Ubuntu Xenial is not compatible with the rest of the 
world.

This is of important concern for products using libzstd as a shared library :
on Ubuntu Xenial, produced data is different, not compatible with v1+.

This issue has been made more pressing with the integration of zstd in Linux 
Kernel,
as userland tools must also be updated to read and generate zstd.

Note : this request was first improperly filled at :

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the 
checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

Backport available from PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~ginggs/+archive/ubuntu/backports

* xenial:
[X] Package builds without modification (needs debhelper 10)
[X] zstd installs cleanly and runs
[ ] zstd-dbgsym installs cleanly and runs
[ ] libzstd1-dbgsym installs cleanly and runs
[X] libzstd-dev installs cleanly and runs
[X] libzstd1 installs cleanly and runs

No reverse dependencies
