Package: prelink
Version: 0.0.20050901-1
Severity: wishlist

If you have a binary with a DT_RPATH or DT_RUNPATH tag pointing at a
particular directory, prelink should look in that directory for
libraries when processing that binary.

For example: consider /usr/bin/octave-2.1.73 from the current octave2.1
package.  This binary has a DT_RPATH for /usr/lib/octave-2.1.73,
and DT_NEEDEDs for three shared libraries in that directory.  If one
attempts to prelink this binary with no special options, prelink
complains about being unable to find all the dependencies.  If one adds
--ld-library-path=/usr/lib/octave-2.1.73 to the command line, it succeeds.
