Hi !
lintian and linda are issuing a warning when a library contains an rpath
statement. However, lintian accepts rpath being /usr/lib/package while
lindian does not do this test.
Here is the lintian warning:
8<-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: The binary or shared library sets RPATH. This overrides the normal
library search path, possibly interfering with local policy and causing
problems for multilib, among other issues.
.
The only time a binary or shared library in a Debian package should set
RPATH is if it is linked to private shared libraries in the same package.
In that case, place those private shared libraries in
<tt>/usr/lib/<i>package</i></tt>. Libraries used by binaries in other
packages should be placed in <tt>/lib</tt> or <tt>/usr/lib</tt> as
appropriate, with a proper SONAME, in which case RPATH is unncessary.
.
To fix this problem, look for link lines like:
gcc test.o -o test -Wl,--rpath,/usr/local/lib
or
gcc test.o -o test -R/usr/local/lib
and remove the <tt>-Wl,--rpath</tt> or <t>-R</t> argument. You can also
use the chrpath utility to remove the RPATH.

Whos is right here ? lintian or linda ?
