Title: libgphoto2 builds lacks a link to the math library in all Ubuntu releases since at least Xenial 16.04 Status in libgphoto2 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Background: With all recent versions of GCC on GNU/Linux systems like Ubuntu, when you use the math library, you have to explicitly link to it. I am currently using Xenial 16.04 and did a recompile of source package libgphoto2. Then I got warnings fromdpkg-shlibdeps. make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ubuntu-xenial/user/Downloads/Launchpad/libgphoto2/libgphoto2-2.5.9' dh_shlibdeps -ldebian/libgphoto2-6/usr/lib/:debian/libgphoto2-port12/usr/lib/ dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/libgphoto2-6/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgphoto2/2.5.9/ptp2.so contains an unresolvable reference to symbol sqrt: it's probably a plugin dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: 2 other similar warnings have been skipped (use -v to see them all) dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/libgphoto2-6/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgphoto2/2.5.9/stv0680.so contains an unresolvable reference to symbol pow: it's probably a plugin dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/libgphoto2-6/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgphoto2/2.5.9/sonix.so contains an unresolvable reference to symbol sqrt: it's probably a plugin dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/libgphoto2-6/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgphoto2/2.5.9/jl2005c.so contains an unresolvable reference to symbol sqrt: it's probably a plugin dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/libgphoto2-6/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgphoto2/2.5.9/digigr8.so contains an unresolvable reference to symbol sqrt: it's probably a plugin dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/libgphoto2-6/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgphoto2/2.5.9/mars.so contains an unresolvable reference to symbol sqrt: it's probably a plugin dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/libgphoto2-6/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgphoto2/2.5.9/sierra.so contains an unresolvable reference to symbol roundf: it's probably a plugin make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ubuntu-xenial/user/Downloads/Launchpad/libgphoto2/libgphoto2-2.5.9' I am quite sure that sqrt is the square root function from the math library. Usually, at least with GCC version newer than ~ 2013 you have to append a -lm to link against the math library.

I am no a configure.ac specialist and don't know exactly what to do in debian/rules to correct the problem. Either way may be upstream developers should be warned of the problem since they are in charge of maintaining the configure.ac file ... Here is some hint about what to do: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Linking.html There is still the pow function ... and I don't know exactly if it's part of the math library ? But it should be coming from another library if so which as well should be linked.

I know for sure that Ubuntu only copy these builds from Debian ... However it's urgent not to overlook GCC evolution impacts on basic packages ...
