[Hackrf-dev] ImportError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnuradio-osmosdr.so.0.1.5git: undefined symbol: _ZN3uhd6device4findERKNS_13device_addr_tE

I haven't been tinkering with grc for a while, but I've booted the 
Ubuntu system now and then and taken any system updates offered.

Apparently, something broke.  Now, whenever I try to execute any of my 
grc saved files, it always quits with the following error:

ImportError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnuradio-osmosdr.so.0.1.5git: 
undefined symbol: _ZN3uhd6device4findERKNS_13device_addr_tE

I did a Google search, and found a conversation from last year about 
library issues, but nothing that seemed to point out to me just how to 
go about correcting this.  Maybe I'll have to bite the bullet and 
uninstall all of the gnuradio stuff and re-install? AFAIK, it was all 
done using the Ubuntu package manager.  PyBOMBS is not installed on this 
machine (yet).

I'd like to be able to keep this stuff running without having to jump 
into the arcane dependencies that can crop up now and then. Would 
re-installing using PyBOMBS give me the least headache, or just a 
different bunch of challenges?

Thanks, and 73,
