Hi, I mentioned before that there are a lot of packages that violate Policy 8.2 Shared library support files:
| If your package contains files whose names do not change with each | change in the library shared object version, you must not put them | in the shared library package. Otherwise, several versions of the | shared library cannot be installed at the same time without | filename clashes, making upgrades and transitions unnecessarily | difficult. I detected 1063 possible violations with some percentage of false positives. Since those are too many to go through by hand I filtered a bit for the location of the violating files: /etc/ : 137 packages /bin/ or /usr/bin : 285 packages /sbin/ or /usr/sbin/: 47 packages Still too many for one go and a huge overlap between the 3 cases so I picked just packages that contained a shared library (as witnessed by a shlibs file in the control.tar.gz) and files in /etc/. I considered any file in /etc/ that does not contain a version in its path or name that would make it distinct from a future SOVERSION in violation of 8.2. I (hopefully) removed all false positives (leaving 126 packages). Possible ways to fix the bug: 1) do not ship a public shared library There seem to be packages that have a shared lib for multiple binaries in the same package and no reverse depends. Most likely the library is not (ment to be) public. 2) Add a version to the name or the path E.g.: /etc/gtk-2.0/im-multipress.conf 3) Split the package into foo and libfoo or libfooX and libfoo-bin/common E.g.: eglibc was recently split into libc6 and libc-bin. Below is the script I used to find candidates and the results filtered through dd-list. The output filtered for files in /etc/ and full can be found at: http://mrvn.homeip.net/policy-8.2/policy-8.2-etc.txt.gz http://mrvn.homeip.net/policy-8.2/policy-8.2.txt.gz MfG Goswin For a full list of all candidates run ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh grep-dctrl "" -n -sFilename dists/sid/*/binary-amd64/Packages \ | while read DEB;
