dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: format of libnss3.so not recognized

[Ross Boylan <RossBoylan@stanfordalumni.org>]

I just tried to build mozilla from sid source on my woody system.  At
the second stage, fakeroot debian/rules binary, I get a bunch of errors like
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: format of libnss3.so not recognized
There are a lot of these errors for various .so files.


I also get some can't find file errors at the very start:

done

I'd appreciate any clues about what's going on and whether these
errors are serious.  I currently have woody mozilla installed. I think
I have the necessary build depends, although I've got libjpeg62-dev
instead of libjpeg-dev.

Thanks.
