Taking a look

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Thank you for trying to keep Ubuntu up to date. I'm a little confused by something in the Debian unblock bug. You mention there are new methods used by sogo, but I don't see them as being exported in the 1.3.16 build. If there's a new ABI, it should probably be reflected somehow (I didn't even see a minor ABI bump to show there's anything new either).

Here are the only differences I see between 1.3.15-4 and 1.3.16-1 with nm:

The reason they don't show up with nm is that SOGo and SOPE are written in Objective-C. Objective-C has dynamic binding and methods are looked up at runtime, so things work a bit different than with C/C++. If you look at the nm output, you will only see symbols for the classes. Methods don't have symbols at all. That's also the reason the libsope1 dependency doesn't have the correct version: it isn't possible for dpkg-shlibdeps to figure that out. This means I have to specify the library dependencies by hand and I will do so with the next upload.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Syncing as sogo will be broke otherwise; but, in the future, it would be nice if the dependencies were fixed first. Also, in general we require a freeze exception when breaking ABI: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess

release ACK from IRC:
[14:46] <slangasek> but if sogo is broken without the new sope, seems like it ought to get in as a bugfix

In queue, waiting acceptance

BTW, thanks for trying to keep Ubuntu up to date and sorry about the delay with this
