Package: libevent1
Version: 1.0-1.1
Priority: important
Tags: upstream sid

Libevent 1.0 breaks backward compatibility and some applications (like 
farpd) will not compile or work. 

Starting farpd comes up with the following error:

 farpd: relocation error: farpd: undefined symbol: event_sigcb

And compiling it shows up:

$ make
gcc  -I/usr/include  -o arpd  arpd.o -L/usr/lib -ldumbnet -L/usr/lib 
-levent -L/usr/lib -lpcap -L/usr/lib -ldumbnet
arpd.o(.text+0x14de): En la función `terminate_handler':
: undefined reference to `event_gotsig'
arpd.o(.text+0x1750): En la función `main':
: undefined reference to `event_sigcb'

The signal handler got moved to an internal location in the library and 
it's no longer exported. This bug has been fixed in libevent 1.0b (released 
2005-01-13) and is needed before this version moves into sarge (or it will 
break some applications there), that's why I'm setting this at important 
priority.

Regards

Javier
