I'm getting some lintian warnings on one of my packages (at
http://mentors.debian.net/package/nemid):
W: nemid: postinst-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig
W: nemid: postrm-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig
The reason is quite evident: the nemid package doesn't include a
library; instead, the postinst and postrm scripts download a library
from an external web page and call ldconfig afterwards. Lintian
obviously can't know that a library is being installed and removed,
hence the warning.
How do I suppress this lintian warning without resorting to, e.g.,
secondary download-and-install scripts that are invoked from postinst
and postrm?
Oh, by the way: I'm still looking for a sponsor for the package. :)
