I have a package where I want to include 4 libraries How should look a shlibs file for such a package ? when applying dpkg-shlibdeps command for such a package , should I feed in all the 4 libraries as the executable in one call of this command in order to generated the .substvars file of the package ?
It turns out that the .deb formed for the package (dpkg-deb) shows all the 4 libraries packed inside ( under ../usr/lib after running: dpkg -c) as should. . But when it comes to installing the package (dpkg -i ) it installs only 2 of the libraries which have a common name with the package name . To illustrate: The package name is : libvae The libraries included : libvae.so.1 libvaeUtil.so.1 libvirtExt.so.1 libvhi.so.1 the dpkg -i installs only the first 2 libraries. I tried to define shlibs file as follows: libvae 1 libvae libvaeUtil 1 libvae libvirtExt 1 libvae libvhi 1 libvae i.e all libraries are members of the same package (libvae) with major soname version 1 . But that does not help or change anything about the install. Is the shlibs file definition correct ? Any help ?
