package: lintian
severity: normal
Hi!
I'm packaging nepenthes (http://packages.debian.org/nepenthes) I have this
issue with lintian:
E: nepenthes: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/nepenthes/x4.so
N:
N: The listed shared libraries contain object code that was compiled
N: without -fPIC. All object code in shared libraries should be
N: recompiled separately from the static libraries with the -fPIC option.
N:
N: Another common mistake that causes this problem is linking with gcc
N: -Wl,-shared instead of gcc -shared.
N:
N: In some cases, exceptions to this rule are warranted. If this is such
N: a case, follow the procedure outlined in Policy and then please
N: document the exception by adding a lintian override to this package.
N:
N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 10.2 for details.
N:
Looking into the code, it looks as if is bug in lintian. The code tries to
check whether the object has a soname version which tends to confuse to
lintian if this is a plugin that dosen't have a soname version.
I study the problem with wouter@debian.org and file this bug.
thanks, luciano

Description:
lintian - Debian package checker
Closes: 90019 173583 325372 428403 428681 429528 429840
Changes:
lintian (1.23.32) unstable; urgency=low
.
The "stability of output" release.
.
* checks/binaries:
+ [RA] Sort the package SONAMEs to provide more stable lintian tags.
Patch from Cyril Brulebois. (Closes: #428681)
* checks/files{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Limit the Zope license exception to only .dtml, .pt, and .cpt
files. Thanks, Bernd Zeimetz.
+ [RA] Sort the files listed in package-contains-hardlink so that the
lintian output is stable regardless of the hash order of the
directory when the tar file was built.
+ [RA] Don't incorrectly skip all other file location checks for hard
links.
+ [RA] Check for files installed in /usr/lib/sgml. This transition
was probably completed long ago, but checking for regression can't
hurt. (Closes: #90019)
* checks/manpages{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Check for dh_make man page templates (by looking for the
template whatis entry). Thanks, Bill Allombert. (Closes: #173583)
* checks/menus:
+ [RA] Avoid a quadratic search of the files in the package on
doc-base files that list tons of files individually. This speeds up
a lintian check of openoffice.org-dev-doc enormously.
* checks/po-debconf:
+ [RA] Close the template file handle between files so that the line
numbers for translated default fields are correct.
* checks/rules{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Check for ignoring all errors from make clean or make distclean
and recommend skipping the call if there's no Makefile instead.
Thanks, Branden Robinson. (Closes: #325372)
* checks/scripts{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Add Octave as an interpreter, and allow both versioned and
unversioned forms. Thanks, Sebastian Harl. (Closes: #428403)
+ [RA] Check for deprecated install-sgmlcatalog usage.
* checks/shared_libs:
+ [RA] Report the correct file for shlib-with-nonpic-code rather than
the last shlib in the package. (Closes: #429840, #429528)
.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [RA] Don't require -v in order to report unused overrides; they're
already info-level tags, which is enough hiding.
+ [RA] Remove old dead unused override code.
.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [RA] Fix a Perl warning when generating the clean maintainer pages.
.
* unpack/unpack-binpkg-l1:
+ [RA] Sort the output of tar tfv by filename so that the lintian
output will be stable regardless of the hash order of the directory
when the tar file was built.
