Subject: tilix: Does not start on Stretch (symbol lookup error: undefined symbol)

Date: Sun, 30 Apr 2017 18:43:18 -0400

Package: tilix
Version: 1.5.4-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Following the name change from terminix to tilix, I updated 
my Stretch system (which uses apt pining to install Sid 
packages whenever possible) to use the new developments of 
tilix.

Install of v1.5.4-1 works without any problem, but I'm unable
to run tilix:

tilix: symbol lookup error: tilix: undefined symbol:
 _D7gobject7ObjectG7ObjectG11addOnNotifyMFDFC7gobject9ParamSpec9ParamSpecC7gobject7ObjectG7ObjectGZvAyaE4gtkc12gobjecttypes13GConnectFlagsZm

I am not sure where to start from here to debug it in more 
details. Maybe that's just expected in trying to install it 
on Stretch.

However, and that's the tricky part, I tried to revert to 
terminix (which is still available as v1.3.0-5 in Stretch), 
and the install now fails with:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 terminix : Depends: terminix-common (= 1.3.0-5) but it is
 not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

All in all, I'm now unable to have any of terminix/tilix. Any
suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Mathieu.

tilix seems to require libgtkd-3-0 >= 3.5.1-1 and should have its
Depends increased.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hey Jason,

Thanks for looking it up! As a matter of fact, it looks like both
libgtkd-3-0 and libvted-3-0 needs to be >= 3.5.1-1. Installing both
libraries from unstable (both v.3.5.1-1) fixes the problem, and Tilix is
able to run with it.

Cheers,
Mathieu.

Thanks for your report, the root problem here is that the versions in 
the shlibs files do not contain a version.

After that fix a rebuild of tilix will have the correct dependencies.

Hi!

I wonder why the shlibs file is messed up, since debhelper should
actually handle it correctly...
If you have an idea, let me know, otherwise I'll investigate this next week.

Cheers,

Okay, the actual problem here is not the shlibs file, but upstream
breaking API without bumping the SONAME of the library.
I will raise this upstream, so we can find a way to deal with this
issue for all distros and not just Debian (the result might be that we
just always bump the version each time a new library is released).

Meanwhile, I think it's safe to let the package (and Tilix) migrate
back to testing.

Cheers,
    Matthias
