Mass bug filing for shared library broken symlinks detected by piuparts
Shortly, piuparts.debian.org will be elevating the broken symlink test
in sid from a warning to an error status. In advance of that, bugs
submissions are planned against packages which are responsible for
such links.
This message covers the bug filings at the 'serious' severity due to a
Policy violation involving shared libraries. Section 8 states
"Packages containing shared libraries must be constructed with a
little care to make sure that the shared library is always available".
Discussion about bug filings at other severities may be handled in
separate threads.
The package list was generated by running an instance of
piuparts-slave/piuparts-master against sid, with the option
"--fail-on-broken-symlinks" enabled. The resulting list was
hand-massaged to eliminate a few packages which failed through the
fault of a dependency. These 'serious' bug candidates were identified
by testing the symlinks and targets against the regular expression
"/usr/lib/.*lib.*so".
There are 82 binary packages in this list, represented by 66 source
packages and 53 maintainers. This is about a quarter of all of the
packages reporting broken symlinks. A total of 279 broken symlinks are
being flagged as 'serious' due to shared library issues.
To see a piuparts log showing the broken symlinks, find the package
under http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/broken_symlinks_issue.html and
search for "WARN: Broken symlinks". That web page also lists reverse
dependencies of packages with the issue.
The initial bug reports will be based on this template:
Subject: Broken library symlink detected in <binarypackage>
Package: <binarypackage>
Version: <version>
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts, broken-symlinks, broken-symlink-shared-library
Hi,
During a test with piuparts, I noticed your package is
responsible for the presence of broken symlinks. Such failures
may indicate a significant problem with the package.
These are sometimes triggered because a Recommended or reverse
dependency package owning the symlink target file is not yet
installed. This type of failure mode needs to be eliminated so
that other symlink problems become more visible. In this case,
the problem can be resolved by creating a trigger for the
target file. See the dpkg triggers documentation[1] and example
on the net[2] for implementation details.
This is being filed as Serious because it represents a violation
of Policy. Section 8 states "Packages containing shared
libraries must be constructed with a little care to make sure
that the shared library is always available".
A link to the log containing the indicated broken symlinks can
be found on piuparts.debian.org[3]. Search for "Warn: Broken
Symlinks" to see the failure point. A log showing the broken
symlink as an error is appended.
The specific symlinks are as follows:
<symlinks for binarypackage>
Note that there may be other broken symlinks. See the log for a
full list.
