how to solve little bugs found by lintian
Hi,
I have two little problems with my first library, that I build. It's
debauch, which ITPed on debian-devel. After running lintian I get the
following errors:
shorty@jupiter% lintian -i ../debauch-0.3-1/debauch_0.3-1_i386.deb
W: debauch: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink usr/lib/libdebauch.so.0.1 usr/lib/libdebauch.so
N:
N: Though this package is not a `-dev' package, it installs a symbolic
N: link referencing the corresponding shared library, where the link name
N: does not include the version number of the shared library.
N:
N: If there is also a `-dev' package for this shared library, this is
N: most likely a bug. If this is a small package which includes the
N: runtime and the development libraries, this is not a bug. In the
N: latter case, please contact lintian-maint@debian.org about this so
N: that this error gets included in the overrides file for Lintian. (With
N: that, Lintian will ignore this bug in the future.)
N:
E: debauch: no-shlibs-control-file usr/lib/libdebauch.so.0.1
N:
N: Though the package includes a shared library, the package does not
N: have a shlibs control file. If this is intentional, please contact
N: lintian-maint@debian.org about this so that this error gets included
N: in the overrides file for Lintian. (With that, Lintian will ignore
N: this bug in the future.)
N:
How important are they and how I can resolve those errors.
Cheers
Christian
