Small issue in libnss3 in wheezy, do we fix it or not?
Hi,
I just figured the libnss3 package in wheezy contains duplicated
libraries as can be seen on
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/libnss3/filelist :
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreebl3.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnssckbi.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnssdbm3.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsoftokn3.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nss/libfreebl3.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nss/libnssckbi.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nss/libnssdbm3.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nss/libsoftokn3.so
Only the ones in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nss are meant to be there.
This makes the packages much bigger than they should be.
The reason this happened is because of this change:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-mozilla/nss.git;a=commitdiff;h=f5c2a1955c45855a7999fc57ba241ae481d53f4f#patch10
more specifically, the
- $(DISTDIR)/lib/*.so.1d
+ $(DISTDIR)/lib/*.so
part.
I fixed this in unstable with the following:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-mozilla/nss.git;a=commitdiff;h=0feec44318fdcab01c0ffea784ee1b79adb99ab3
Now, the question is, do we want to fix this in wheezy or not, in which
case this would need to go through t-p-u.
Cheers,
Mike
