KDE packages putting plugins in /usr/lib
Hi,
I'm going to adopt noteedit, and while going over the packaging I
noticed that it drops a library in /usr/lib. This causes Lintian to
complain (because it has a development symlink, and the postinst doesn't
call ldconfig)
Some discussion with the author revealed that it is a plugin for
Konqueror. I assume this means it gets ldopen()d, so it probably
doesn't need to be in /usr/lib or need ldconfig. A number of other
packages seem to dump KDE plugins in /usr/lib (eg, kbabel) -- is there
any way we can get these things out of that directory?
Anyway, since it looks like there's no better way right now, I'll
upload a first version that has the plugin in /usr/lib.
Thanks,
Daniel
