abiword-2.6.3-alt1 libfribidi-0.10.4-alt3 After I installed a new version of abiword (with apt-get), it has undefined symbols because the new libfribidi wasn't required by the abiword package. A way to fix this would be to add versions to symbols in the ABI of libfribidi and rebuild abiword with it. $ ldd -r "$(which abiword )" linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7fcc000) libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 (0xb7f98000) libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0xb7f86000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7e9d000) libglade-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so.0 (0xb7e86000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0xb7aa8000) libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0xb798c000) libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0xb78f7000) libatk-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0 (0xb78dd000) libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (0xb78c3000) libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 (0xb789b000) libpango-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0 (0xb785f000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xb77e4000) libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0xb77d0000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xb77a6000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0xb776d000) libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0xb7769000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0xb769e000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7678000) libgnomeprintui-2-2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgnomeprintui-2-2.so.0 (0xb763a000) libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0 (0xb75d4000) libenchant.so.1 => /usr/lib/libenchant.so.1 (0xb75cc000) libfribidi.so.0 => /usr/lib/libfribidi.so.0 (0xb75bf000) libwv-1.2.so.3 => /usr/lib/libwv-1.2.so.3 (0xb7542000) libgsf-1.so.114 => /usr/lib/libgsf-1.so.114 (0xb7510000) libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0xb74ed000) libpopt.so.0 => /lib/libpopt.so.0 (0xb74e4000) libgthread-2.0.so.0 => /lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0 (0xb74df000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb73f9000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb73ee000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb73d7000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb72af000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0xb72a7000) libxcb-xlib.so.0 => /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 (0xb72a4000) libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1 (0xb728c000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7288000) libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 (0xb727f000) libXfixes.so.3 => /usr/lib/libXfixes.so.3 (0xb727a000) libcairo.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 (0xb7210000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb7202000) libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1 (0xb71ff000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXi.so.6 (0xb71f7000) libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0xb71f1000) libXcursor.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 (0xb71e7000) libXcomposite.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXcomposite.so.1 (0xb71e4000) libXdamage.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXdamage.so.1 (0xb71e1000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xb71c1000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) libgnomecanvas-2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgnomecanvas-2.so.0 (0xb7193000) libart_lgpl_2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so.2 (0xb717c000) libbz2.so.1 => /lib/libbz2.so.1 (0xb716b000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xb7162000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xb715f000) libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xb715a000) libdirectfb-1.1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libdirectfb-1.1.so.0 (0xb70ea000) libdirect-1.1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libdirect-1.1.so.0 (0xb70d9000) libglitz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libglitz.so.1 (0xb70b3000) libpixman-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpixman-1.so.0 (0xb708a000) libgailutil.so.18 => /usr/lib/libgailutil.so.18 (0xb7083000) libfusion-1.1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libfusion-1.1.so.0 (0xb707a000) undefined symbol: fribidi_get_type (/usr/bin/abiword) $ rpm -qf "$(which abiword )" abiword-2.6.3-alt1 $
A solution would be to versionize the symbols in libfribidi and rebuild the dependent packages with it -- filed as https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15945 .
