So, how do you do > it? A package in debian must be able to be built within Debian. I install them both and then update one of them. :) (Yes it was a bit tricky to install it the first time ;) But it will be just one pacakge in the future. I just realized that the reason why I got the other error (the one complaining about no shlibs in shlibs package) was because that the shlibs file did not export any symbols. So it seems like it was no good Idéa to make a shared lib of it. :) But the error message should be changed and tell about that possibility. Even better would be if lintian checks if there is a file named as a shared library and check if that file exports any symbols. So now I'm going back to the previous solution with just one package. I will probably upload it today and tomorrow. Where do I tell that uploaded packages should be removed? > Perhaps you should explain this case more fully on the -mentor list. Ok, I'll CC debian-mentors. // Ola -- ----------------------- Ola Lundqvist ------------------------- / opal@lysator.liu.se Björnkärrsgatan 5 A.11 \ | olalu526@student.liu.se 584 36 LINKÖPING | | ordforande@lysator.liu.se Hem: +46 (0)13-17 69 83 | | ola.lundqvist@euronetics.se Mobil: +46 (0)70-332 1551 | | opal@debian.org UIN/icq(hemma): 4912500 | | http://www.opal.dhs.org UIN/icq(annars): 62515865 | \ gpg/f.p.: 7090 A92B 18FE 7994 0C36 4FE4 18A1 B1CF 0FE5 3DD9 / ---------------------------------------------------------------
