[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#896476: network-manager: NetworkManager fail with undefined symbol in liggobject2 g_varant_dict_ref

[Carlo Marchiori]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.10.6-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


today my debian buster/sid failes to start properly.
Various services fail to start, apparently for the same reason.
NetworkManager fails with undefined symbol g_variant_dict_ref in libgobject-2.0.so
I've tried to link libgobject to version 3xxx instead of 5xxx and the problem seems to be resolved,
just to be replaced by another one (libffi.so.5 not found).
