Bug#467425: lintian: tag sharedobject-in-library-directory-not-actually-a-shlib is confusing
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.45
Severity: minor
I got the error sharedobject-in-library-directory-not-actually-a-shlib on a
file. The file was missing a soname. Perhaps you could rename the tag to
something like sharedobject-in-library-directory-missing-soname. Otherwise
people (such as me) would be confused that the file is complete garbage or
something. After looking five times I found the distinction between
"sharedobject" and "shlib", but that is very subtle.
