[Bug 1579925] Re: Sync irssi-plugin-xmpp 0.53-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Florian Schlichting]

To reproduce, 'apt-get install irssi-plugin-xmpp' on a x86_64 Xenial
system, run 'irssi' in a terminal and then '/load xmpp'. This will yield
the error message:

Irssi: Error loading module xmpp/core: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/irssi/modules/libxmpp_core.so: cannot open share object file: No
such file or directory

This is the "multiarch directory" part of the issue. To see the ABI
mismatch, bluntly symlink the modules into place: 'for SO in
/usr/lib/irssi/modules/*; do ln -s $SO /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/irssi/modules/; done' then run 'irssi' and again '/load xmpp'. This
will now yield:

Irssi: xmpp/core is ABI version 0 but Irssi is version 2, cannot load
Irssi: Error loading module xmpp/fe: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/irssi/modules/libfe_xmpp.so: undefined symbol: xmpp_subscription
Irssi: xmpp/core is ABI version 0 but Irssi is version 2, cannot load

In both bases, the expected output of a working irssi / irssi-plugin-
xmpp combination after issuing the '/load xmpp' command would be

Irssi: Loaded module xmpp/core
Irssi: Loaded module xmpp/text
Irssi: Loaded module xmpp/fe

Does that suffice as a test case / reproducer?

Title:
  Sync irssi-plugin-xmpp 0.53-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Status in irssi-plugin-xmpp package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in irssi-plugin-xmpp source package in Xenial:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Please sync irssi-plugin-xmpp 0.53-1 (universe) from Debian unstable
  (main)

  Looking at LP: 1579545, irssi-plugin-xmpp appears to be completely broken in
  Xenial, due to
      1) ABI breakage by a newer version of irssi without corresponding rebuild
         (binNMU) of irssi-plugin-xmpp
      2) Use of multiarch library path in newer version of irssi

  Both issues were discussed in #817171 and subsequently fixed in
  irssi-plugin-xmpp 0.52+git20160118-2, which unfortunately was not synced to
  Ubuntu before the Xenial release.

  irssi-plugin-xmpp does not have reverse dependencies, so updating it should
  be low-risk. (If you update to 0.53-1 instead of 0.52+git20160118-2, I don't
  know how well the daily update process copes with the transition from -dbg to
  -dbgsym packages?)

  To my knowledge, Yakkety is not affected.

  irssi-plugin-xmpp (0.53-1) unstable; urgency=medium
