Description Ildar Muyukov 2008-03-19 07:22:55 UTC 
During upgrade the problem emerged: 
Mar 12 09:53:55 ildar apt-get: libeel-0:2.21.92-alt1 installed 
Mar 12 09:53:56 ildar apt-get: libeel-0:2.18.3-alt1 removed 

mail-notification: symbol lookup error: mail-notification: undefined symbol: eel_uri_get_basename

And similarly nautilus built with older libeel version dies.


The root reason of this is that developers (incompatibly) changed library ABI without changing soname. Shared libraries have rules for such changes, that are not honored by libeel.

eel has been abandoned in 2.26, a version has been merged in Nautilus as there shouldn't be any other users.
