Bug Description

Please sync irssi-plugin-xmpp 0.53-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Looking at LP: 1579545, irssi-plugin-xmpp appears to be completely broken in
Xenial, due to
    1) ABI breakage by a newer version of irssi without corresponding rebuild
       (binNMU) of irssi-plugin-xmpp
    2) Use of multiarch library path in newer version of irssi

Both issues were discussed in #817171 and subsequently fixed in
irssi-plugin-xmpp 0.52+git20160118-2, which unfortunately was not synced to
Ubuntu before the Xenial release.

irssi-plugin-xmpp does not have reverse dependencies, so updating it should
be low-risk. (If you update to 0.53-1 instead of 0.52+git20160118-2, I don't
know how well the daily update process copes with the transition from -dbg to
-dbgsym packages?)

To my knowledge, Yakkety is not affected.

Changelog entries since current xenial version 0.52+git20160118-1:

irssi-plugin-xmpp (0.53-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Import Upstream version 0.53
  * Refresh patches
  * Transition to automatic dbgsym package

  * Rebuild for new irssi version. This is #772479 again...
  * Use all hardening buildflags
  * Install modules in multiarch directory (closes: #817171)
  * Use secure URIs for Vcs-* fields
  * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 3.9.7

Could you please add a test case? I'm going to upload -2 as a stable update but for it to be accepted there needs to be a reproducer on this bug.

Thanks :)

To reproduce, 'apt-get install irssi-plugin-xmpp' on a x86_64 Xenial system, run 'irssi' in a terminal and then '/load xmpp'. This will yield the error message:

Irssi: Error loading module xmpp/core: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/irssi/modules/libxmpp_core.so: cannot open share object file: No such file or directory

This is the "multiarch directory" part of the issue. To see the ABI mismatch, bluntly symlink the modules into place: 'for SO in /usr/lib/irssi/modules/*; do ln -s $SO /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/irssi/modules/; done' then run 'irssi' and again '/load xmpp'. This will now yield:

Irssi: xmpp/core is ABI version 0 but Irssi is version 2, cannot load
Irssi: Error loading module xmpp/fe: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/irssi/modules/libfe_xmpp.so: undefined symbol: xmpp_subscription
Irssi: xmpp/core is ABI version 0 but Irssi is version 2, cannot load

In both bases, the expected output of a working irssi / irssi-plugin-xmpp combination after issuing the '/load xmpp' command would be

Irssi: Loaded module xmpp/core
Irssi: Loaded module xmpp/text
Irssi: Loaded module xmpp/fe

Does that suffice as a test case / reproducer?
