[Bug 1638306] Re: [SRU] zypper binary shipped w/ Ubuntu Xenial requires rebuild (relocation error)

[Adam Conrad]

The version number you're looking for here is 1.12.4-1build0.1 (larger
than 1.12.4-1, smaller than 1.12.4-1build1) for yakkety and
1.12.4-1build0.0.1 for xenial.

That said, as discussed on IRC, while "rebuilding it fixes it" may well
be a suitable stop-gap, has there been any investigation into WHY this
is broken?  "Rebuilding fixes it" usually implies an undeclared ABI bump
in the underlying library.  Something maybe it's too late to fix now in
three stable releases, but should be communicated upstream at the very
least with a finger-wag.
