Bug#831211: ucommon: FTBFS with GCC 6: dh_makeshlibs: failing due to earlier errors

[Peter Colberg]

Dear Debian Release Team,

twinkle has been marked for autoremoval from testing on 2016-08-27 due
to this FTBFS. Building ucommon with GCC 6 instead of GCC 5 yields
slight differences in the list of visible symbols.

How should this bug be dealt with? Is it not simply a matter of
waiting for GCC 6 to become default, uploading ucommon with an
updated symbols file and an ABI bump (if needed), and submitting
binNMUs for dependent packages?

If so, can this bug be downgraded to severity important until then?

Regards,
Peter
