unresolved symbols in MailUI when starting up sogo

[Paul Gauret]

On a fresh Utopic install, the SOGo mail ui at Mail/view is broken. I get the following error message when accessing it:

An error occurred during object publishing

the requested object could not be found!

Other SOGo components and UIs are working fine (e.g. caldav,carddav, Calendar/view ...).

I also tried building SOGo 2.2.10 from source on Utopic and got the same issue.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The undefined __objc symbols are a red herring.
The real curlpribe is the undefined symbol: sk_value also present in the log and that prevent loading of the __objc classes (trigger the subsequents error messages).

sk_value is a symbol from OpenSSL.
Simply recompiling the whole packages again the right OpenSSL version (the one distributed with the OS) fixed the issue for me.

Hi,

I have a fresh Bionic install of ubuntu server and I have the same problem.
Sogo version used is 3.2.10

Do I have a chance for this bug to be fixed and have an updated packet ?

Thank you.

I'm also using SOGo 3.2.10 on Bionic and I can confirm rebuilding the package fixes this issue. Any chance we can release a new build in the official repository as well?
