[Koha] Unable to use zebra facets on OPAC in 16.11

[MAKAUTCL WB]

Hi List,

I'm facing a problem, I can't seem to get the facets showing in the search
results. The only option I can do now is turn off zebra facets by setting
 <use_zebra_facets>0</use_zebra_facets>, in which case I get the facets
from Koha. However, then I can't get any result in case I try to limit by
availability.

My system setup is as below:

Debian 8.6

Koha 16.11 - deb package installation

IndexData Zebra Package: libidzebra-2.0-0
Source: idzebra
Version: 2.0.59-1

I read up https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11232
but that shows it as FIXED.

So how do I troubleshoot this one?

thanks in anticipation
