I was using trunk SOPE, but I just cleaned both, grabbed SOPE 4.6, built
against that, and it's the same problem.

Furthermore, the SOPE tests (which I should have done in the first place
:) fail with the same error, so this isn't an OGo issue.

I thought this could be because was missing libobjc-lf2 and
libobjc-lf2-dev, but I would have expected configure to complain if a
build-dependency was missing.  I always had libobjc1 installed.

I tried installing libobjc-lf2 and libobjc-lf2-dev, which creates an
interesting issue when linking.
Making all for tool ldapchkpwd...
 Compiling file ldapchkpwd.m ...
 Linking tool ldapchkpwd ...
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libobjc.so.lf2, needed by
./../../sope-core/NGExtensions/shared_debug_obj/libNGExtensions.so, may
conflict with libobjc.so.1

I think this is a red-herring as Sebastian's libfoundation-1.1 package
depends on libobjc1, not libobjc-lf2.  His libfoundation-1.0 package
depends on libobjc-lf2, but ISTR libfoundation-1.0 is too old for what I
want.  So I'm still stumped.
