Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
Control: block 1067439 withh -1
Control: affects -1 + src:cpu

[ Reason ]
The last QA upload four years ago fixed a FTBFS (multiple definitions of
a global variable) by replacing that variable with an extern declaration
and zero definitions. This didn't result in a linker error (missing
symbol) because it happens in a plugin library and thus is only detected
at runtime when the plugin gets loaded (i.e. always).
So let's ship the plugin with *one* definition of the global variable
;-)

[ Impact ]
cpu stays unusable, but nobody noticed that for the last 4 years and two
stable releases ...

[ Tests ]
Added a smoke test autopkgtest that detects the current failure.

[ Risks ]
We can't make the current situation much worse ;-)

[ Checklist ]
[*] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[*] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[*] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[*] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
* Actually provide a definition of globalLdap. (Closes: #1067439)
