Package: lintian Version: 1.23.46 Severity: normal >From the lintian description of binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath:
| The binary or shared library sets RPATH. This overrides the normal | library search path, possibly interfering with local policy and | causing problems for multilib, among other issues. | The only time a binary or shared library in a Debian package should | set RPATH is if it is linked to private shared libraries in the same | package. But lintian outputs a warning anyway for private libraries: | W: libc6: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/lib/gconv/EUC-CN.so $ORIGIN | W: libc6: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/lib/gconv/EUC-JISX0213.so $ORIGIN | W: libc6: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/lib/gconv/EUC-JP-MS.so $ORIGIN | ... It probably misses the point that $ORIGIN in an rpath means the same directory as the current library, which is here a private directory.
