Hi,
I have recently made the package compface (can be found in unstabe) containg
the shared library libcompface. Now I am trying to make a package xfaces that
uses this library. But I can't get dpkg-shlibdeps working. This is what is
says:
# dpkg-shlibdeps xfaces
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unknown output from ldd on `xfaces': `
libcompface.so => /usr/lib/libcompface.so'
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared
library libXpm (soname 4, path /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.7, dependency field
Depends)
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared
library libm (soname 5, path /lib/libm.so.5.0.5, dependency field Depends)
What's wrong with my compafe package, and to which packages does the other
libs belong, and why can't dpkg-shlibdeps find them?
Normally, the compface package should contain a shlibs file (like the
conffiles, etc.) reading something like
libcompface 1 libcompface1
assuming libcompface1 is the name of your package.
Once the package is installed, dpkg should be able to use the shlibs file
to get the dependency right. It doesn't work with my 1.4.0 dpkg, thouh :-(
The trick is to have a debian/shlibs.local file in your xface package that
lists all dependencies dpkg-shlibs cannot find, thus containing
libcompface 1 libcompface1
Yves.
