severity 522432 normal
thanks
The version of ggcov in testing and sid (0.8-8) is linked against
libbfd-2.19.1.so, which does not exist in the current version of
binutils:
~> ldd /usr/bin/ggcov | grep libbfd
libbfd-2.19.1.so => not found
~> dpkg -L binutils | grep libbfd
/usr/lib/libbfd-2.20.so
I think not having a stable ABI is not a bug in binutils -- they do
not claim that libbfd has a stable ABI. Please consider linking
statically, otherwise ggcov will be broken over and over again. It
might not be the most elegant solution, but it might make ggcov in
Debian more stable.
Or will ggcov have to be rebuilt for a new version of binutils anyway?
In this case, please consider a strict versioned dependency.
Cheers,
Sven
