Bug Description

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 beta and now gnote crashes every time it is run:

  gnote
  gnote: Symbol `_ZTVN4DBus13BusDispatcherE' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
  *** glibc detected *** gnote: free(): invalid pointer: 0x00d3e070 ***

lsb_release -ra

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

I upgraded the distro from 10.10 to 11.04 beta1. Gnote was not present on the system after the upgrade, I had to reinstall it. However, it does not run and gives segmentation fault with the same error message as above. Thanks.

Rebuild of gnote was enough - will prepare debdiff.

Confirmed that a rebuild fixes it and sponsored. Thanks hrw!

Ideally it would be good to document in further detail what the root cause of the ABI change is/was, incase it also affects other packages too.
