[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#944461: Bug#944461: upower: segfaults when trying to communicate with usbmuxd when iPhone is plugged in

[Lorenz Hübschle-Schneider]

Thanks Michael, I missed that.

#944236 (upower: stack smashing detected) and #941703 (libimobiledevice6: Crashes upower with stack smashing when connecting an iPhone) also appear to be the same issue, but I see that's been noted already. I guess they can all be merged into one.

As far as I can tell the source of the problem is a SONAME tracking issue in libusbmuxd: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libusbmuxd/issues/81 which breaks something in libimobiledevice which then causes upower to crash.

Cheers,
Lorenz
