Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Control: affects -1 + src:nut
User: [email protected]
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package nut
[ Reason ]
nut-scanner tool is currently not working properly as it dynamically
load some libraries and it only looks for the .so files installed by the
corresponding -dev packages and not the runtime ones.
[ Impact ]
nut-scanner is a tool to automatically detect the UPS installed on the
system or network. Without this tool the users need to write the
configration by hand. nut is not completely broken, but it's less
convinient for the user
[ Tests ]
I installed the runtime libraries without the corresponding -dev package
and the tool is able to load the library and is not complaining anymore
[ Risks ]
The patch only changes the file name of the libraty from lib.so to
lib.so.SONAME, so as long as the SONAME is not changing there is no
risks
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
This fix will be limited to trixie and upstream has a different fix in
a new release.
