Bug#683737: lintian: add check for *-broken lib symlinks
Severity: wishlist
Package: lintian
Hi,
I just stumbled upon
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Aug 3 12:27 libproc.so -> /lib/libproc-*.so
It is obvious what was meant there, but it also resulted in all other
packages depending on that library linking libproc.a instead. I doubt
that we will have a library name with a * inside, so please add a check
which throws an error to ensure that doesn't happen. Imho ftp-masters
would like to add such a check to their blocks.
Cheers,
Bernd
