I have started experimenting with an alternative solution which is much simpler than what I originally proposed. The solution is to ensure libprotobuf exposes only the symbols it has to (i.e. google protobuf related), to avoid binding to libstdc++, and thus working around the problem.
I have pushed package protobuf-2.6.1-1alf2 with the experimental fix at: https://launchpad.net/~afrantzis/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1391976 Title: Loading libmircommon.so twice leads to a segfault in libprotobuf.so To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1391976/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
