Control: severity -1 grave It's frustrating to see a bug report being ignored for nearly three years. The severity is definitely release-crtical, because it renders this package (libz3-jni) unusable.
PS: I tried to patchelf the .so file in question. The result, however, is ridiculous. $ sudo patchelf --set-soname "whatever" /usr/lib/x86_64-linux- gnu/jni/libz3java.so $ ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni/libz3java.so linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe4cd46000) XXXXXXXXXX => not found libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fb5d29ac000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fb5d2829000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fb5d280f000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fb5d264e000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fb5d2bc2000) Well, at least you can turn to LD_PRELOAD instead of patchelf. If you are bit by this Debian-specific bug, stop here. Download the official binaries and simply set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, unless somebody fixes this bug, whose root cause is already known 3 years ago, thanks to Andrey. Let's hope the fix does not take another 3 years...
