Hello,
Section 8.6.2, "How to use dpkg-shlibdeps and the shlibs files" contains
a typo in the substitution variable:
> You will need to place a ${shlib:Depends} variable in the Depends field
> in the control file for this to work.
This needs to be ${shlibs:Depends}, the attached patch fixes this.
Please apply, it took me some time to figure out what was going wrong
with my control file :)
regards,
Thijs
