Package: dpkg,debhelper Severity: important dh_shlibdeps has a nice comment for the -l option:
""" With recent versions of dpkg-shlibdeps, this is mostly only useful for packages that build multiple flavors of the same library, or other situations where the library is installed into a directory not on the regular library search path. """ Unfortunately it does break cross builds too; seen this when building a gcc cross targeting a multilib soft-/hard-float ARM target, and a powerpc biarch target, like: DIRNAME=sf dh_shlibdeps -plibsfgcc1 -l/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi:/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi:/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib /usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc.so.6: internal error dh_shlibdeps: dpkg-shlibdeps -Tdebian/libsfgcc1.substvars debian/libsfgcc1/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/libgcc_s.so.1 returned exit code 127 make[1]: *** [stamps/08-binary-stamp-libsfgcc] Error 127 There might be some bugs regarding the dynamic loader which are seen by exposing the libraries of different architectures within multiarch configurations. However the issue, that perl can't find it's own libraries can be solved on it's own: - dpkg-shlibdeps should get an option (-l?) to pass an extra library path. - dh_shlibdeps should use this option to pass the argument given by it's own -l option.
