[Monotone-debian] Bug#681066: Botan 1.10.2 breaks ABI compatibility

[Markus Wanner]

Package: libbotan-1.10-0
Version: 1.10.2-1
Severity: critical

As Francis Russel pointed out on the Debian packaging mailing list for
monotone, it looks like Botan 1.10.2 broke ABI compatibility compared to
1.10.1, see here:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/monotone-debian/2012-07/msg00000.html

I can confirm ABI compatibility between versions 1.10.1 and 1.10.2 of
Botan is not given. I've identified the cause, successfully tried a
work-around (patch attached) and contacted the upstream author(s), see
here:
http://lists.randombit.net/pipermail/botan-devel/2012-July/001624.html

With this bug report I hope to stop 1.10.2 from propagating further and
think upstream will soon release 1.10.3 (or take whatever other actions
they think are appropriate).

Regards

Markus Wanner
