In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> you write: >Are we supposed to use dpkg-shlibdeps for all dependecies upon shared libs?
I believe so, yes. >Or is it just for the three (or so) installed in /etc/dpkg/shlibs.default? Ian will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think (under the New Scheme of Things) packages which provide shared libraries should have a debian/shlibs file detailing the appropriate dependency information. Until all packages which provide shared libraries are converted to provide this file, we could: (1) Have all the shlibs information in /etc/dpkg/shlibs.default. (This happened with the X libraries.) or (2) Temporarily put the appropriate information in debian/shlibs.local in the package with the dependency on the shared library. IMO neither of these is wonderful; thoughts? (S)
