[odb-users] Linker error on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

[Boris Kolpackov]

Hi Wolfgang, Sean,

Yes, Ubuntu 16.04 libraries appear to be broken, I've failed a bug report,
but nobody seems to care:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libodb/+bug/1588330

I believe the problem is caused by the GCC dual ABI fiasco that is described
here:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dual_abi.html

My current guess is that some libodb* packages (I think libodb) were built
with an older version of the compiler and are still using the old ABI.

So it's a mess all around, unfortunately.

Boris
