Package: linphone-desktop
Version: 5.2.6+dfsg-1
Severity: grave

I've been using linphone-desktop for years, so i have an existing
linphone configuration.

When i recently upgraded from 5.0.2-4+b5 to 5.2.6+dfsg-1, linphone
declined to start at all with this complaint:

```
0 dkg@bob:~$ linphone 
linphone: error while loading shared libraries: libapp-plugin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
127 dkg@bob:~$
```

After observing that `libapp-plugin.so` ships on amd64 in
`/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/linphone-desktop/libapp-plugin.so` I tried
starting it like this:

```
0 dkg@bob:~$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/linphone-desktop linphone 
QObject::connect: No such signal App::applicationStateChanged(Qt::ApplicationState) in ./linphone-app/src/app/App.cpp:271
Set TimeZone to  "America/New_York"
Segmentation fault
139 dkg@bob:~$
```

After installing `linphone-desktop-dbgsym` and some other `-dbgsym`
packages, i tried again under the debugger:

```

I'm not sure what to make of this, but i do know that i can't use
linphone at all right now :(

I tried making a backup of ~/.linphone* and ~/.config/linphone and
moving them out of the way to see whether linphone would start from a
fresh configuration, and it still crashed in the same way, so i don't
think my configuration is the issue.

Please let me know if you'd like me to run any additional debugging
tests.

Thanks for maintaining linphone in debian!
