Hello Lars and thanks for this bug report. I can confirm this: libmnl- dev 1.0.4-2 installs
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmnl.a while libmnl-dev 1.0.4-3 does not. I tracked this down to this Debian packaging change (see the debian/libmnl-dev.install diff): https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-netfilter-team/pkg- libmnl/-/commit/3526970e4dfb5598a9023496211c908e9ab7c9dc Dropping the .a file looks like unintentional to me, at least by reading the commit message. Ideally this should be fixed in Debian, to make Debian benefit from the fix and keep the packages in sync, lowering the maintenance work from the Ubuntu side. Do you you think you can file a bug in Debian against the libmnl source package and report it back here? This would speed up things.

In Ubuntu 22.04 the problem is reversed, -lnetfilter_queue works but -lmnl doesn't for static builds. This is very awkward during the transition 20.04->22.04 when both should be supported. I compensated in Ubuntu 20.04 by building netfilter_queue locally; https://github.com/Nordix/nfqueue-loadbalancer#build ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: libmnl0:amd64 1.0.4-3build2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-27.28-generic 5.15.30 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-27-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Wed May 4 07:33:26 2022 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-09-07 (1334 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180725) SourcePackage: libmnl UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to jammy on 2022-05-01 (2 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmnl/+bug/1971523/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
