Hm, that makes me really wonder what's going on here.  That makes me think
there's something deeper that isn't quite right.

The Lintian warnings about invoking ldconfig indicate that dh_makeshlibs
thought your package contained shared libraries, and therefore added that
postinst fragment, but Lintian doesn't agree.  Lintian uses fairly complex
logic to determine what are shared libraries and what aren't (which is
suitable for a package checking tool where getting it wrong isn't a huge
problem).  dh_makeshlibs takes a much more conservative approach to ensure
that it doesn't *miss* any shared libraries, since that could cause
user-visible issues, at the cost of possibly including things it
shouldn't.

My understanding is that it excludes any files that don't have SONAMEs and
won't consider them shared libraries.  It certainly will exclude things
that are explicitly excluded with -X.

The short version is that dh_makeshlibs still thinks your package has
non-excluded shared libraries in it.  Maybe in a different directory?  Or
maybe the override didn't take?

I don't think just ignoring the Lintian warnings is really the right
solution, although it's not a bad expedient solution in the name of
getting the package in front of users.  The invocations of ldconfig are
harmless in terms of correct functionality, but they do take a bit of
unnecessary time.  It's the kind of thing that I'd obsess over getting
right if I were you, but I respect other people's lack of desire to care
as much about little nits as I do.  :)

Regardless, though, I wouldn't override the Lintian warnings unless you've
confirmed that your postinst actually doesn't call ldconfig, or that it
*needs* to call ldconfig because your package does contain shared
libraries.  If neither of those are true, Lintian is actually correct; I
think it's better to leave the warnings visible so that people (including
yourself later on) know it's an unfixed problem, rather than suppressing
them.  You don't have to fix every Lintian warning immediately; some of my
packages have had them for a time until I found the right solution.  (Of
course, I'm not a sponsor, and some sponsors may have different policies.)

I don't see a difference in the build dependencies with the version on
mentors. What do you mean? They are "debhelper (>= 9), autotools-dev".

[Ho Wan Chan]

Hello Vincent,

I'm seeing the FTP Master NEW queue, and it seems that you have uploaded a
wrong version with the wrong build-dependencies. Can you re-upload with the
newest version in Mentors?
