Bug#479612: after upgrade to spandsp 0.0.4pre18 asterisk-app-fax crashes asterisk

[James Bottomley]

Package: asterisk-app-fax
Version: 0.0.20070624-1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss

Apparently the dependency of asterisk-spandsp-plugins and spandsp-dev
is pretty tight.  It looks like there was a binary incompatible change
introduced by the upgrade from 0.0.4pre16 to 0.0.4pre18

I verified that asterisk crashes every time a fax is received after the
upgrade

Recompiling asterisk-spandsp-plugins_0.0.20070624-1 and reinstalling makes
the crash go away.  It looks like theres a compiled version in unstable that
will go through to testing in 10 days and fix the problem

The net of this bug report is that either these packages need to be tied
together, or the so version of spandsp needs increasing for every change
(because in the pre stage the ABI is obviously not stable)
