This is a bug in libxmlbird.  Its soname is currently
"libxmlbird.so.1.3" (and apparently used to be "libxmlbird.so.1.0").
It should probably be "libxmlbird.so.1".

If the library ABI has changed then the libxmlbird1 package must be
renamed and the "libxmlbird.so.1" symlink must not be created.

Ben.
