If I understand this correctly, there is no need to use ldconfig
in the postinst script, correct?
ie. A quick survey of the packages on my system:
$ grep 'ldconfig' /var/lib/dpkg/info/*|wc -l
112
And I've only got around 400 packages installed (and not too many
libraries) - so I think we've got a serious problem. We ought
not to release 2.0 in this state.
The shared library thing has always confused me a bit because
I tend to pick these things up by example - but if everybody's
doing it wrong...
Should I file bug reports? What severity?
Or am I unduly alarmed?
Cheers,
- Jim
