Package: libgnatprj4.3 Version: 4.3.4-4 Severity: serious Justification: The listed file appears to be linked against the C library, User: lintian-ma...@debian.org Usertags: missing-dependency-on-libc
All shared libraries and compiled binaries must be run through dpkg-shlibdeps to find out any libraries they are linked against (often via the dh_shlibdeps debhelper command). The package containing these files must then depend on ${shlibs:Depends} in debian/control to get the proper package dependencies for those libraries. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 8.6 (Dependencies between the library and other packages - the shlibs system) for details. ,----[ 8.6 Dependencies between the library and other packages - the shlibs system ] | If a package contains a binary or library which links to a shared library, we | must ensure that when the package is installed on the system, all of the | libraries needed are also installed. This requirement led to the creation of the | shlibs system, which is very simple in its design: any package which provides a | shared library also provides information on the package dependencies required to | ensure the presence of this library, and any package which uses a shared library | uses this information to determine the dependencies it requires. The files which | contain the mapping from shared libraries to the necessary dependency | information are called shlibs files. | | Thus, when a package is built which contains any shared libraries, it must | provide a shlibs file for other packages to use, and when a package is built | which contains any shared libraries or compiled binaries, it must run | dpkg-shlibdeps on these to determine the libraries used and hence the | dependencies needed by this package. `---- ,----[ 8.6.2 How to use dpkg-shlibdeps and the shlibs files ] | Put a call to dpkg-shlibdeps into your debian/rules file. If your package | contains only compiled binaries and libraries (but no scripts), you can use a | command such as: | | dpkg-shlibdeps debian/tmp/usr/bin/* debian/tmp/usr/sbin/* \ | debian/tmp/usr/lib/* | | Otherwise, you will need to explicitly list the compiled binaries and | libraries.[53] | | This command puts the dependency information into the debian/substvars file, | which is then used by dpkg-gencontrol. You will need to place a | ${shlibs:Depends} variable in the Depends field in the control file for this to | work. `---- manoj -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.4-anzu-2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libgnatprj4.3 depends on: pn gnat-4.3-base <none> (no description available) pn libgnat-4.3 <none> (no description available) pn libgnatvsn4.3 <none> (no description available) libgnatprj4.3 recommends no packages. libgnatprj4.3 suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-gcc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
