Subject: dpkg-shlibdeps cannot cope with certain libraries

Date: Tue, 09 Sep 97 11:45:13 +1000

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0.8

I've been working with Modula 3, and have very nearly crammed it into a
group of Debian packages. Unfortunately, I'm having problems with
dpkg-shlibdeps.

The problem arises because M3 sets the soname of (for example) libm3
to "libm3.so". ie: there's no version information within the soname. I
can readily correct this; however, I'm reluctant to do so, on the basis
that any dynamically linked Modula 3 programs will expect libm3.so to
be the soname.

The output is:

unknown output from ldd on `Calculator': libm3.so => /usr/lib/libm3.so

or similar.

Related to this is that I'm not certain what I should put in the shlibs
files.

It can probably be argued that this is a bug in Modula 3, rather than
dpkg, and I would be inclined to agree; however, as I said above, I'm
reluctant to change the soname of the shared libraries.

This was fixed in dpkg 1.7.0, when dpkg-shlibdeps was switched to objdump.
