Thanks,

the symbol has changed its name, but a macro was added to make it source 
compatible: 
https://sources.debian.org/src/hoel/1.4.20-1/include/hoel.h/#L534

Therefore the package glewlwyd-2.6.2 still builds with this new source. 
Glewlwyd 2.7.0 will use the new function h_execute_query_sqlite instead.

What is the best approach to close this bug?
- Should I patch hoel package to replace the #define 
h_exec_query_sqlite() with a redefinition of h_exec_query_sqlite()?
- Should I re-upload glewlwyd 2.6.2 to force a rebuild?

Thanks in advance for your advice
