Re: dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library [...] needed by [...]

Thanks, Andrey, for the input.

I've dug around a little more now and found that the reason for the error was the fact that the library that couldn't be found was indeed built, but was not part of a package. That's what dpkg-shlibdeps was complaining about.

Thanks again, cheers,

Nico

It's not "right before installation". The build process has nothing to do
with installing packages.

And where is that file?

Nothing there installs anything. dpkg-shlibdeps processes ELFs to be
included in the packages and tries to find their dependencies and convert
them to package-level Depends.
