Hi Daniel,

Sorry about the delayed response on this part.

That is a very simple check. [1] Would you please include the full tag
context and a list of shipped files? The context mentions the expected
filename, which can be easily found in a shipping manifest (or not, in
your case).

There are two possible sources of bugs:

a) The expected file name is wrong. [2]
b) Lintian looks in the wrong folders. [3]

For (b) Lintian looks in the ld-config paths derived here [4] in part
from the multiarch path components found here. [5][6]

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
