Control: affects 968525 + libgpg-error-dev libc6-dev Control: found 968525 2.104.0 Control: retitle 968525 lintian: breakout-link reported for /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) -> /lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) symlinks, conflicts with lacks-unversioned-link-to-shared-library On Mon 2020-08-17 00:00:07 +0200, Aurelien Jarno wrote: > Since recent version of lintian, the following tags are reported against > the libc6-dev package: > > W: libc6-dev: breakout-link usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libBrokenLocale.so -> lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libBrokenLocale.so.1 I see the same issue in libgpg-error-dev with lintian 2.104.0. If I try to fix it in libgpg-error-dev (i.e. by moving the symlink into lib/ instead of usr/lib), then instead i get a lintian warning lacks-unversioned-link-to-shared-library, whose description reads in part: N: The symlink is generally expected in the same directory as the library N: itself. The major exception to this rule is if the library is N: installed in (or beneath) /lib, where the symlink must be installed in N: the same dir beneath /usr. So these two lintian tags appear to be in conflict! --dkg
