dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot find library (Was: Bug#977308: shasta: hardcoded dependencies on boost 1.71)

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

I tried no override_dh_shlibdeps in shasta debian/rules, which has lead
to:

dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot find library /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/shasta.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so needed by debian/shasta/usr/bin/shasta (ELF format: 'elf64-x86-64' abi:      '0201003e00000000'; RPATH: '')
dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot continue due to the error above
Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any shlibs or symbols file.
To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to use -l.
dh_shlibdeps: error: dpkg-shlibdeps -Tdebian/shasta.substvars debian/shasta/usr/bin/shasta returned exit code 2
dh_shlibdeps: error: Aborting due to earlier error

and in the pbuilder chroot I also tried the there commands I added to
the comment in 

    https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/shasta/-/commit/366edd672be428cc553b34b99bc614aa698175d6 

with no success - dpkg-shlibdeps simply did not found the shared library
which exists at the said place.  I wonder what might be wrong here and how
to fix this.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
