bad lintian warning?
My package:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/resiprocate
The warning:
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink.html
a) I notice the warning is appearing for the lib package and NOT the
-dev package itself
b) I notice the verbose output (on the mentors summary page) shows an
SONAME in a slightly different format:
usr/lib/librutil-1.8.so.0.0.0 usr/lib/librutil-1.8.so
Notice: librutil-1.8.so, while the -dev package creates a symlink in the
form librutil.so
c) If I install the packages manually on my own machine, I find the
symlink is really there after installing the -dev package:
