No, that was actually quite helpful. I am chasing this around because
someone who wrote me offlist suggested that it actually depended on more
libraries than I had listed. I checked with objdump, and it agrees with
the generated field (as I expected - that's what dpkg-shlibdeps uses,
right?). I cannot seem to set up an environment without the missing
libraries, as that would remove tons of other kde stuff, and prevent me
from running the program (in addition to hosing many of my users'
desktops), so I'm going to believe objdump over ldd at this point.
Now, is anyone interested in sponsoring it? 8^)
