Subject: dpkg-shlibdeps problems

Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 10:30:11 +0200

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0.18

I've just received a bug report (10747) which is related to dpkg-shlibdeps.

I have my new S-lang packages installed:
ii  slang0.99.34    0.99.38-2.4    backward compatibility shared library for li
ii  slang0.99.34-de 0.99.38-2.4    S-Lang libc5 backward compatibility developm
ii  slang0.99.38    0.99.38-2.4    The S-Lang programming library, shared libra
ii  slang0.99.38-de 0.99.38-2.4    The S-Lang programming library, development 

Now, when I build mutt (take the 0.76-2 source), dpkg-shlibdeps does not
resolve the libslang dependency:
penguin ray 10:13 ~/debian/devel/mutt-0.76> dpkg-shlibdeps debian/tmp/usr/bin/mutt
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared
library libslang (soname 0.99.38, path /usr/lib/libslang.so.0.99.38,
dependency field Depends)

I have no idea how to solve this.

Any hints appreciated,
Ray

rulcmc:/var/lib/dpkg/info$cat slang0.99.38.shlibs 
libslang 0.99.34  slang0.99.34 (>=0.99.38)

mayby changing that to
libslang 0.99.38  slang0.99.38 (>=0.99.38)

would help?

(I only 2 hours ago I noticed I did about the same with libg++272).

Did changing the slang0.99.38.shlibs file as suggested by Joost fix
your problem?  If so, please let me know so I can close out this bug
report.

Thanks,

Yes. Sorry I forgot to feed that back.

I'd rather make it a feature request:
IMO, dpkg-shlibs by default should exit with a non-zero exit status if it 
cannot resolve a shared library dependency; there should be a switch to
override this behaviour ("--ignore-unresolvable-dependencies").

With the current behaviour, it is too easy to overlook this problem (it
merely generates a warning).

Greetings,
Ray

Changes: 
 dpkg (1.14.7~newshlib) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   [ Raphael Hertzog ]
   * dpkg-shlibdeps has been heavily reworked:
     * it supports "symbols" files to generate finer-grained
       dependencies. Closes: #430367
       Those files can be created by the new dpkg-gensymbols
       command.
     * it uses now all paths in RPATH (instead of only the first).
       Closes: #395942
     * it's now able to parse include directives in /etc/ld.so.conf.
       Closes: #431597
     * libraries are also searched in the public directories of packages
       being built and thus debian/shlibs.local can effectively define
       dependencies for libraries that are being built. Closes: #80340
     * "symbols" files use the full SONAME as key instead of splitting it in
       (name, version) like the "shlibs" format requires it. This allows
       binaries to be linked with unversioned libraries and not fail.
       Closes: #48208
       Note that unversioned libraries are still a very bad idea.
     * dpkg-shlibdeps now supports "-x<package>" options that can be used
       to exclude packages from generated dependencies. This is
       particalularly useful to avoid dependencies on ourselves when a
       package contains a binary and a library (without requiring an
       shlibs.local file to override the usual shlibs file). It might also
       be used to avoid other unwanted dependencies (use with care though).
       Closes: #41907, #109954
     * If dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't find any dependency information for a
       shared library that is actively used, then it will fail. This can be
       disabled with the option --ignore-missing-info. Closes: #10807
 .
   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Add back $dpkglib into @INC, needed by the controllib.pl require in
     822-date. Closes: #440962
   * Document in dpkg-scanpackages that apt now requires Packages.bz2 in
     preference to Packages.gz. Closes: #440973
   * Stop recognizing the obsolete Optional field when building packages.
   * Use fakeroot, if present, by default to gain root privileges in
     dpkg-buildpackage.
   * Fix typos in dpkg-deb.1 and start-stop-daemon.8. Closes: #441051
     Thanks to A. Costa.
   * After '<prerm> remove' fails and while doing the error unwinding, if
     the '<postinst> abort-remove' call succeeds, preserve the old status
     instead of unconditionally setting it to 'Installed'. Closes: #432893
     Thanks to Brian M. Carlson.
   * Add Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git fields to debian/control.
 .
   [ Frank Lichtenheld ]
   * Add _MTN to dpkg-source -i default regex. Suggested by Jari Aalto.
   * Convert dpkg-buildpackage to a Perl script.
   * dpkg-buildpackage accepts a -j<n> option now which will set
     MAKEFLAGS(-j<n>) and DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS(parallel=<n>) accordingly.
     parallel=<n> in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS will be passed to MAKEFLAGS as
     well. Based on an idea by Robert Millan. Closes: #440636
   * Allow dpkg-source -I without a pattern which will load a default
     list of pattern similar to -i without regexp. Patch by
     Jari Aalto. Closes: #440972
   * Rework documentation of dpkg-source's -i and -I options.
     Closes: #323911, #440956
 .
   [ Updated dpkg translations ]
   * Basque (Piarres Beobide). Closes: #440859
   * Danish (Claus Hindsgaul). Closes: #441106
   * French (Frédéric Bothamy).
   * German (Sven Joachim). Closes: #440537
   * Nepali (Shiva Prasad Pokharel). Closes: #437825
   * Portuguese (Miguel Figueiredo). Closes: #441113
   * Romanian (Eddy Petri?or).
   * Vietnamese (Clytie Siddall). Closes: #440502
   * Korean (Sunjae Park). Closes: #443190
 .
   [ Updated man pages translations ]
   * German (Helge Kreutzmann).
   * Swedish (Peter Karlsson).
   * Korean (Sunjae Park). Closes: #443191
