I've just tried to build your package, to rebuild systemd and d-i afterwards but it failed with: | dh_makeshlibs -plibcap2 --add-udeb=libcap2-udeb -- -c4 | dpkg-gensymbols: warning: some new symbols appeared in the symbols file: see diff output below | dpkg-gensymbols: warning: debian/libcap2/DEBIAN/symbols doesn't match completely debian/libcap2.symbols | --- debian/libcap2.symbols (libcap2_1:2.24-9_amd64) | +++ dpkg-gensymbols1MqufS 2015-06-07 23:13:54.633114251 +0200 | @@ -1,4 +1,5 @@ | libcap.so.2 libcap2 #MINVER# | + __cap_lookup_name@Base 1:2.24-9 | _cap_names@Base 1:2.10 | _libcap_strdup@Base 1:2.10 | cap_clear@Base 1:2.10 | dh_makeshlibs: failing due to earlier errors | debian/rules:50: recipe for target 'override_dh_makeshlibs' failed This doesn't happen with 1:2.24-8. Trying to build it a while ago led to no warnings, but (re)building it now introduces this new symbol. Probably due to some toolchain update (that I didn't investigate). Having -9 introduce the -c4 flag makes the warning become a fatal error, since the default behaviour (level 1 in dpkg-gensymbols, called by dh_makeshlibs) is warn only. It's somewhat fun to see how this function is constructed by the way. ;) More seriously, I'm not sure it should be exposed in the shared library, so you may want to unexpose it instead of just adding it to the symbols file. Mraw, KiBi.
