Package: lintian
Version: 0.9.1

Lintian should try to detect shared libraries without a SONAME (the
stupid "gcc -shared -o lib..." doesn't produce one) in the output of
`objdump --headers --all-headers`.

Those libraries are likely to be located under */lib and contain ELF
in their `file` description, as well as .so in their names. If they
don't have a SONAME, they are really suspect...

This check should take place before the "shared-libs" check in lintian 
since it may produce an error message otherwise, because libraries
missing a SONAME won't be identified as shared libraries later in the
lintian process.

This bug has been open against Lintian for more than 10 years now, tagged
wontfix, but it turns out that it was actually fixed quite some time ago.
(More than five years ago.)

Very belatedly closing it with the right version.  :)
