Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Any programme linked against tdsodbc has problems at runtime, with the
error message "error while loading shared libraries: libtdsodbc.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
See attached linkissue.txt and linkissue.c for a simple way to reproduce.
I believe the error is related to this part of debian/rules in the
freetds source package:
override_dh_auto_install:
dh_auto_install
mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/tmp/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/odbc
mv
$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libtdsodbc.so.0.0.0 \
$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/odbc/libtdsodbc.so
rm -f
$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libtdsodbc*
This override renames libtdsodbc.so.0.0.0 to libtdsodbc.so. However when
the source is built (see attached sourcedirlisting.txt) it links
libtdsodbc.so and libtdsodbc.so.0 to libtdsodbc.so.0.0.0, so as the
package gets built we've lost libtdsodbc.so.0 and this is what gets
complained about when I attempt to link to this library.
I'm not sure why dh_auto_install fails to do the right thing and needs
to be overridden, but I suspect the solution is for the override to
preserve the links instead of renaming files.
