Bug#925529: libhyperic-sigar-java: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/jni/libsigar.so: undefined symbol: sigar_skip_token

[Andrius Merkys]

Package: libhyperic-sigar-java
Version: 1.6.4+dfsg-3

Hello,

I am packaging a Java application which attempts to load SIGAR library,
and terminates with the following error:

java: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/jni/libsigar.so: undefined symbol:
sigar_skip_token

After locally building and installing Debian package with stripping
disabled, I find that 'sigar_skip_token' symbol is indeed missing in the
shared library:

$ nm -a /usr/lib/jni/libsigar.so | grep -E '^\s+U\s+sigar_'
                 U sigar_skip_multiple_token
                 U sigar_skip_token

However, these symbols are defined in upstream-provided binary tarball [1]:

$ nm -a sigar-bin/lib/libsigar-amd64-linux.so | grep sigar_skip
00000000000169e0 T sigar_skip_line
0000000000016a70 T sigar_skip_multiple_token
0000000000016a20 T sigar_skip_token

Would it be possible to bring the missing symbols into the distributed
shared library?

Best,
Andrius
