Re: Replacing ldconfig maintscripts with declarative methods

2015-10-05 Thread Niels Thykier
Hi, As of debhelper/9.20151004, dh_makeshlibs is now using triggers rather than maintainer scripts to invoke ldconfig. * Lintian in untable + testing is already aware of this * Lintian has /not yet/ been backported. Lintian from backports still (incorrectly) reports this an issue. Please d

Replacing ldconfig maintscripts with declarative methods

2015-08-23 Thread Niels Thykier
Hi, Currently, all Debian libraries (is required to) have a call ldconfig in postrm and postinst. I would like to replace that with a declarative method somehow. There are a couple of reasons for this: * Packages without postinst scripts do not need to be "configured" explicitly (because dp

Bug#759530: libc-bin: ldconfig breaks a system

2015-02-18 Thread Niels Thykier
Hi, Could this bug be caused by a corrupt aux-cache[1] (possibly, in addition to a corrupt ld.so.cache)? A bit of google searching suggests that a broken aux-cache can cause ldconfig to seg. fault. With the ld.so.cache itself being corrupt (or sufficiently outdated?), both ldconfig and most othe

On debhelper using ldconfig -X instead of ldconfig in postinst

2015-01-08 Thread Niels Thykier
Hi, In bug #549990 (from 2009), we were recommended to have debhelper insert a call to "ldconfig -X" instead of "ldconfig". I went ahead and committed said change (but have not released it yet). Then I noticed that /sbin/ldconfig is now a shell script invoking dpkg-trigger when called with no ar
