Package: libhoard Version: 2.1.0-3 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 8.4
The libhoard package contains a libhoard.so file which is *not* a symlink to libhoard.so.*. This violates all the rules governing shared library packaging; it makes it impossible to properly support installation of multiple concurrent versions of the shared library, and it means that installing future versions of -dev packages will force removal of any packages dynamically linked with this libhoard.so. These forward-compatibility issues make libhoard 2.1.0-3 unsuitable for inclusion in a stable release. Either libhoard must have a properly versioned soname and be split into -dev and runtime packages, or the shared library must be dropped completely from the package. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libhoard depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.0-9 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
