[Bug 1644643] Re: apt failed to run due to link time reference error

[Manfred Hampl]

The root cause of this problem is Zentyal who provide an updated version
of libapt-pkg5.0 in their repositories (version 1.5.1), but no updated
version of the apt package (which will be taken from the Ubuntu
repositories, currently version 1.2.29). These two packages do not fit
together.

Workaround: downgrade libapt-pkg5.0 to the Ubuntu version (and mark that
package not to be updated to the Zentyal version again)

Long term solution proposal: Zentyal have to reassess and correct the
contents of their repositories.

Title:
  apt failed to run due to link time reference error

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After update apt and its related library to 1.2.15 from 1.2.10ubuntu1,
  I get following message when I try to invoke apt:

  apt-get: relocation error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-
  private.so.0.0: symbol _ZlsRSoRKN3APT9PrettyPkgE, version APTPKG_5.0
  not defined in file libapt-pkg.so.5.0 with link time reference

  1.2.10 do not have this problem. Now I manually downgrade from 1.2.15
  to 1.2.10 to solve this problem.

  Ubuntu release: 
  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  what I expect to happen: apt would show the helper message
  what happened instead: apt shows me the line on above
