The 3.9.0beta package is currently not binary compatible with libtiff 3.8.2.

Please, remind me what's the problem with binary compatibility between 3.8.2 and 3.9?

I am not positive. I believe that ron at debian.org expressed concern some time ago so the concerns should be archived in the list.

More than likely the issue is due to insertion of a couple more members (UaToAa & Bitdepth16To8) toward the end of TIFFRGBAImage in tiffio.h which blows any existing access to row_offset & col_offset. A more careful analysis is necessary to assure there are no other issues.
