pkgkde-gensymbols / Std-Vers: 3.9.4 and § 8.6 for C++ libs

[Mathieu Malaterre <malat@debian.org>]

Hi there,

  I am trying to update one of my package to Std-Vers: 3.9.4. In
particular I am looking at §8.6 which now recommends symbols files.
According to recent post on -dev handling of c++ libs should be done
using pkgkde-gensymbols. So I followed instructions from:

 http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/symbolfiles.html

  I did ran:

$ pkgkde-gensymbols -V -plibgdcmMSFF2.2 -v2.2.1 -Osymbols.amd64
-edebian/tmp/usr/lib/libgdcmMSFF.so.2.2.1

where:

$ readelf -d debian/tmp/usr/lib/libgdcmMSFF.so.2.2.1
[...]
 0x000000000000000e (SONAME)             Library soname: [libgdcmMSFF.so.2.2]

However pkgkde-gensymbols neither output *anything*, nor create a
symbols.amd64 file.

Anyone knows how to use this tool ? Using:

$ apt-cache policy pkg-kde-tools
pkg-kde-tools:
  Installed: 0.15.3
  Candidate: 0.15.3
  Version table:
 *** 0.15.3 0
        500 http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ sid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Thanks !
