Hm, I have some packages with that version number indeed:
dpkg-query -W|grep 2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpj2:amd64    2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpjlib-util2:amd64    2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpjmedia-audiodev2:amd64      2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpjmedia-codec2:amd64 2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpjmedia-videodev2:amd64      2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpjmedia2:amd64       2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpjnath2:amd64        2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpjsip-simple2:amd64  2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpjsip-ua2:amd64      2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpjsip2:amd64 2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpjsua2:amd64 2.5.5~dfsg-5
libpjsua2-2v5:amd64     2.5.5~dfsg-5
and asterisk has it in its dependency chain.

Downgrading these to 2.5.5~dfsg-3 from snapshot.debian.org indeed
helped the problem. So far, so easy.

To keep me happy, I see some options. Most obvious, do we really
need that loglevel? If yes, it should be mentioned in
pjproject.conf, with the option to silence them, maybe with a
word of warning for the clutter on the console.

Bye,

Joerg
