Bug#429840: lintian: wrong filename reported with shlib-with-non-pic-code error
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.31
Severity: important
Tags: patch
I have noticed that lintian reports wrong filenames with the following
error:
shlib-with-non-pic-code error
Here is an example erroneous output:
lintian *.deb
E: complearn-mod-crypt: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/complearn/modules/libmod_md5.so.0.0.0
E: complearn-mod-crypt: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/complearn/modules/libmod_md5.so.0.0.0
E: complearn-mod-crypt: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/complearn/modules/libmod_md5.so.0.0.0
....
I have attached a one-line patch that fixes the problem.
