Right. Debian dropped the updated gperf package into repositories, but 
did not rebuild anything that relies on it. When I tried that with 
libcap, I got the exact same error as we've seen.

Not sure what's going to happen when they discover the incompatibility. 
I'm a bit surprised they don't do such dependency rebuilds when changes 
are introduced.
