Bug#630164: lintian: Some checks to update for multiarch: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames and postinst-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.0
Severity: normal
I have converted ftplib to multi-arch and noticed two small problems with
lintian:
1/
W: ftplib3: postinst-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig
This one (already pointed out to nthykier on IRC) is that
data/shared-libs/ldconfig-dirs needs to be updated to include
lib/i386-linux-gnu and usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu since those are
the official path for multiarch on i386.
But changing the file has a strange side-effect where it leads to a test
failure:
Running binaries-multiarch 1.0... building... testing... FAILED:

This one is the fault of lib_soname_path() in check/binaries.
It doesn't include the multiarch paths as a valid path where public
libraries can be installed.
Cheers,
