It has been announced quite some time in advance: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/09/msg00004.html You have 3 solutions: - make sure that the lib has no SONAME so that it's identified by dpkg-shlibdeps as a private library - add --ignore-missing-info to the dpkg-shlibdeps call (you can pass this via "dh_shlibdeps -- --ignore-missing-info") - add dependency information for this library (shlibs is not possible given that it has no version, however symbols files are possible) > I would provide you with more information if it were clear from the error > messages what name and version you were looking for.

During the discussions on -devel, Steve Langasek suggested me to use the SONAME+DYNAMIC as the criterion to define a public library. > Then extract_from_shlibs would not need that > code, and although no shlibs file would be generated, it would at least not > cause the build to fail. > > dpkg 1.14.7 says instead: > dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: format of 'NEEDED libkdeinit4_keditbookmarks.so' not > recognized > dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: format of 'NEEDED libkdeinit4_kfmclient.so' not > recognized > dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: format of 'NEEDED libkdeinit4_konqueror.so' not > recognized > > but it does not fail. It's not the lack of version that makes it fail. It's the lack of dependency information.
