Package: libusb-dev Version: 0.1.12-20+nmu1 Severity: important Tags: patch
Hi, installing libusb-dev causes spurious creation of a /usr/lib/<triplet>/libusb-0.1.so.4 symlink by ldconfig. Since libusb-dev does not call ldconfig, this will happen at the next call to ldconfig by another package installation/upgrade - which can happen 2 seconds or 2 months later. So that link shows up spuriously. Same on package removal: the symlink stays around dangling until ldconfig is called again. (ldconfig would create /usr/lib/<triplet>/libusb-0.1.so.4 -> libusb.so) I'm attaching 2 patches targeting wheezy and sid to ship that (superfluous) symlink - so dpkg will take care of creation and removal, and ldconfig (whenever this will be run) will find the link already in place, so it won't touch it. The -dev package will ship /usr/lib/<triplet>/libusb-0.1.so.4 -> /lib/<triplet>/libusb-0.1.so.4 Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
