I am not sure if this was the right way to find out, but it looks like a yes to me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/packaging/php4-interbase-4.3.6$ grep libgds.so * -R Binary file debian/php4-interbase/usr/lib/php4/20020429/interbase.so matches interbase.c: * When the Interbase client API library libgds.so is first loaded, it registers a call to Binary file modules/interbase.so matches > What does 'file' say about the format of this file, if > dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't recognize it? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ file /usr/lib/libgds.so /usr/lib/libgds.so: symbolic link to `libgds.so.0' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ file /usr/lib/libgds.so.0 /usr/lib/libgds.so.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped It is in one of these packages libfirebird-c32, libfirebird-s64, libfirebird-s32, libfirebird-c64 which are orphaned.
