Bug#317615: lintian: Please check for C++ ABI mixups

[Goswin Brederlow <brederlo@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.8
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I think it would be a good idea for lintian to test for C++ ABI mixups
during the transition. As an example look at bookmarkbridge:

% ldd /usr/bin/bookmarkbridge | grep std
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x55fe4000)
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x5622d000)

In general lintian could check for any occurences of two sonames of
the same library.

MfG
