Bug Description

foxlib1.6 is packaged with link -Bsymbolic functions. This produces an error on the mouse-right click function (e.g. File-properties, ..open with, etc.) within the XFE-Filemanager, V 1.32.5

This is reproducable.

Reference1: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/f/fox1.6/fox1.6_1.6.45-1ubuntu2/changelog

Remaining changes:
    - Link without -Bsymbolic-functions. Wed, 30 May 2012 00:43:49 -0500

Reference2:Project-housing XFE @ sourceforge

http://sourceforge.net/p/xfe/bugs/171/ (status:closed/works for me)

So a simple rebuild of the package could fix this. Would be nice to have it SRUed then.

Thanks in advance for helping to make Ubuntu better every day.

I confirm the bug.
It seems that the lines:

ifneq (,$(LDFLAGS))
  LDFLAGS := $(filter-out %-Bsymbolic-functions,$(LDFLAGS))
endif

that were added to the debian/rules file in Ubuntu 12.04 does nothing now.
