Re: ldd, dpkg-shlibdeps and libsocks.so

| It is a bug in libsocks4, which should compile the library with -soname
| libsocks.so.4. I'm willing to bet that libsocks.so is created by

So reassigning the bug against libsocks-dev is the right thing to do?

Thanks!

 Here, suck is linked against libsocks.so, without a version number.
 This makes dpkg-shlibdeps complain about 'format of libsocks.so not
 recognized'.  (Which really is 'format of file name "libsocks.so" not
 recognized').  Why does this happen, and is this a bug in suck,
 dpkg-shlibdeps or libsocks4?
