Hi,

First of all, thanks for taking care of cnee/xnee in Debian!

At some point recently, the XIQueryVersion() function from the X11 API
moved to a separate library, libXi.so.6, found in the libxi6 Debian package.
Since cnee 3.19-8 (in both unstable and testing) has not been linked
against libXi.so.6 at build time, it does not try to load it, resulting in
errors such as:

    [roam@straylight ~]$ cnee --replay -f /dev/null; echo "exit code $?"
    cnee: symbol lookup error: /lib/libxnee.so.0: undefined symbol: XIQueryVersion
    exit code 127

...which breaks any program that tries to invoke cnee, leading to e.g.
the wmanager tests breaking in #1013579.

I think that a simple rebuild should be enough - I tested it on my local
system and the cnee binary is now linked against libXi.so.6, too.

Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

G'luck,
Peter

If this is the case, could you just request a binNMU?

Thanks.

Hm, that's actually an interesting idea... I'll look into it, and,
in that case, sorry for bothering you! :) So yeah, I will look into
it and probably close this bug accordingly.

G'luck,
Peter
