Package: unixodbc-dev
Version: 2.3.12-2
Severity: important
User: [email protected]
Usertag: environment
Hi,
/usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/unixODBC/unixodbc_conf.h contains:
#define LT_DLSEARCH_PATH
"/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu:/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libfakeroot:/usr/local/lib"
Apparently it picks up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH modification done by
fakeroot. But this library path is wrong at runtime.
Please fix the build to not include the libfakeroot directory.
Best,
Chris

Hi Chris,

I think it should be enough to rebuild this package with a recent
dpkg that no longer uses fakeroot by default with
Rules-Requires-Root: (but I did not test this).
This was discussed in #debian-devel today:
13:38 <hmc> libtool's autoconf picks up LD_LIBRARY_PATH via LT_SYS_DLSEARCH_PATH
13:40 <hmc> in this case, unixodbc_conf.h is a private header.
13:42 <hmc> (it indicates how unixodbc was built)
And I found a number of packages with the same diff:
gerris
libapr1-dev (with other changes)
libdiagnostics-dev
libotf2-trace-dev (with other changes)
librep-dev
libtool-bin
pinball-dev
proftpd-core (with other changes)
r-base-core (with other changes and log size limit)
So maybe this should be reassigned to autoconf?
Maybe, maybe not. I'm guessing the packages themselves control if they
let the build-time library path end up in their header or binary
files.
If so, I don't think autoconf can do much about it.
I have updated the buildd chroot generation script to no longer install
fakeroot by default and asked for binNMUs for all bug pinball-dev (is R³
binary-targets) and verified that this reproduces now. I still think it
would be better to not expose the build time LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the
installed unixodbc_conf.h but that is probably minor, so closing this.
Cheers Jochen
