Package: libfabric1 Version: 1.5.3-1 Severity: serious Justification: policy 8.2
libfabric1 ships /usr/bin/fi_{info,pingpong,strerror}. These files are independent of the soname of the library. Debian policy section 8.2 prohibits such files from being shipped in the shared library package. The typical solution is to split them out into a package named e.g. libfabric-bin. Thus when libfabric bumps its soname, libfabric-bin would get taken over by the newer package while libfabric1 and e.g. libfabric2 would remain coinstallable. Helmut
