[Stéphane Graber]

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ust into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ust/2.7.1-1ubuntu0.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

  python3-lttngust tries to load unversionned agent library

Bug description:
  The python3-lttngust package contains bindings that use ctypes to
  interact with a dedicated library provided by the liblttng-ust-python-
  agent0. The python code loads the library by name but it targets the
  un-versioned ".so" which is part of the dev package.

  This means that when installed without the dev package the bindings
  won't work.

  The fix is to load the library by name and use the SONAME version
  ".so.0".

  I'll provide a debdiff for the affected versions.
