Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.19

This is an automated bugreport.

The package dpkg contains a shared library that should be
explicitly linked with the libraries it depends on.
Filename:

  usr/lib/libdpkg.so.0.0

Explicit linking of shared libraries has several advantages, the most
important of which is that it allows the dynamic linker to detect
conflicts between library versions.

Every shared library should at least be linked explicitly with libc,
by passing -lc to the linker.

When this is done, the package can use dpkg-shlibdeps on the shared
libraries to generate a correct Depends: line automatically.

Linking shared libraries this way was marked as a release goal for
Debian 2.0, in Brian White's "Upcoming Debian Releases" list, the
last of which was mailed to debian-devel on 8 Sep 1997.

	I think this is already fixed.  Can you check again, so that
this bug can be closed?

	Thanks.

It has indeed been fixed, in one of the non-maintainer uploads
1.4.0.20 or 1.4.0.21.

Subject: retitling fixed bugs

retitle 12617 FIXED in NUM [was: dpkg: unchecked prompting in postinst]

retitle 16091 FIXED in NMU [was: dpkg: dselect won't read Packages from sunsite]

retitle 17732 FIXED in NMU [was: dpkg suddnely has problems unpacking many .debs]
stop

	Some of these bugs haven't really been fixed by a NMU: some of
them are not bugs, some have been fixed by an official release and
some have been fixed by other packages.  However, I think it's easier
to use the same title on all of them.

Comments:
10072 was fixed a lot of time ago
12617 is not a bug (the submitter agrees on this)
13598 and 13892 have already been fixed by base-files_1.7
16091 was probably a bug in sunsite's mirror; it's not a bug in dpkg
17732 was the "chown/lchown" bug in kernel 2.1.8x
