Strange Lintian warning
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
O.K. here´s my problem with the packages I am preparing presently:
Lintian v0.4.3 warns me:
bash> lintian ../tktable_2.3-1_i386.deb
W: tktable: shlib-without-dependency-information
usr/lib/Tktable2.3/Tktable.so.2.3
Well, I´d assume the build process would take care of setting up the shlib
libs file and indeed it seems it does, at least for the other package I am
preparing, blt. (Placing my own shlibs into debian doesn´t change
anything, even though it causes an shlibs file to turn up in
debian/tktable/DEBIAN) Why does the build process ignore that library, I
guess it´s because its name does not start with lib... ?
In the blt package the same warning turns up, even though the build
process lists the library:
- -- Processing provided ELF libraries
Sharable Library usr/lib/libBLT.so.2.4
Added ELF Library link libBLT.so.2
But lintian goes:
W: blt: shlib-without-dependency-information usr/lib/libBLT.so.2.4
Now, where on earth does lintian expect the shlibs file to be ???
