As discussed in the upstream Debian bug, the symbol "X_window::x_map" just shouldn't be in the exported symbols list. Attached branch removes it.

Patch forwarded upstream to Debian.

Hi Kamal,

Can you check if deleting the .symbol file, as recommended by Reinhard, fix the FTBFS. Also check if rdepends still builds after the change has been done.

Thanks
Fabrice

Hi Fabrice-

Yes, deleting the debian symbols files also works (fixes the FTBFS, and dependent packages still build ok) -- branch implementing that change is attached. But why would removing the symbols files be the preferable solution here?

Hi Kamal,

Deleting the symbols file will prevent future FTBFS because of changing exports: the symbols files are only required when the lib fails to export the required functions, and that's not the case here.
As stated by Reinhard, this is safer to delete them.

Uploaded. Thanks for your work!
