[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#369040: libasound2: 78 symbols have gone weak, making all linking apps break

[Adeodato Simó]

Package: libasound2
Version: 1.0.11-5
Severity: grave

Hello.

Seems like the libasound2 library shipped in 1.0.11-5 has a number of
symbols as weak, making all applications linking to it fail:

  - T snd_ctl_elem_info_get_dimension
  + W snd_ctl_elem_info_get_dimension

For example:

  % ldd -d -r /usr/lib/ao/plugins-2/libalsa09.so
  symbol snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size, version ALSA_0.9.0rc4 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference     (/usr/lib/ao/plugins-2/libalsa09.so)
  symbol snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_near, version ALSA_0.9.0rc4 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference        (/usr/lib/ao/plugins-2/libalsa09.so)
  symbol snd_pcm_hw_params_get_buffer_size, version ALSA_0.9.0rc4 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference     (/usr/lib/ao/plugins-2/libalsa09.so)
  symbol snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time_near, version ALSA_0.9.0rc4 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference        (/usr/lib/ao/plugins-2/libalsa09.so)
  symbol snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near, version ALSA_0.9.0rc4 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference       (/usr/lib/ao/plugins-2/libalsa09.so)
          linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
          libasound.so.2 => /tmp/a/5/usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0xa7edf000)
          libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xa7ebb000)
          libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xa7d83000)
          libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xa7d5d000)
          libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xa7d59000)
          /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x75555000)
