Hi Michael,
I think I've fixed this RC bug as well. I've written to Ralf Hoffmann,
notifying him about the problem and a possible solution. I've uploaded
another NMU, so that avfs can build again on all architectures.
If Ralf releases another upstream version with updated library version
info, that can be uploaded to fix #1061322. Otherwise, the library
should probably be renamed to allow a transition.
Regards,
Tobias
