Unfortunately, this is still an issue one year on. It would be great to get this custom action working.

Why has Microsoft started providing the unixodbc packages?

Why can't we use the packages provided by Ubuntu?

FWIW, the Zebra 2.2.7 is an important release fixing various possible overflows.

Yes, I want 2.2.7 in Debian unstable and testing before the full code freeze.

Thanks for confirming. I've spoken with some other Debian Developers about this situation, and they've all said it's okay to drop getFnameTmp and tighten the linker version against extract_get_fname_tmp, since there is no known program or library using those symbols.

One developer also pointed out that both symbols end in Tmp/tmp and asked whether they're actually supposed to be internal and not exported.

Any thoughts on this, @adamdickmeiss?

When preparing v2.2.7 for Debian, the build system warned that one public symbol had been removed. That was getFnameTmp.

I also found a signature change in extract_get_fname_tmp, which now takes the string length.

While these are technically API breakages and the library soname should be bumped, do you know of any programs linking against these functions? Debian doesn't have any software linking against libidzebra-2.0-0.

I'm just wondering whether you should bump the soname version.

Hi Nick, any concerns with this man page update?
