My package meschach has a shared library. Previously, I called ldconfig in the postinst to get the library registered (it was made mandatory in Policy 2.4.1.0).
But I've noticed just now as I prepare a new upload that lintain complains, saying, W: meschach: postinst-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig So I'm a bit confused about what the problem is, especially since the directive in Policy 2.4.1.0 doesn't appear to have been annulled. (and do I need to put dpkg-shlibdeps in debian/rules somewhere? It seems fine without it) My postinst is: #!/bin/sh # meschach.postinst, runs ldconfig set -e case "$1" in configure) ldconfig ;; abort-upgrade|abort-remove|abort-deconfigure) ;; esac #DEBHELPER# ################################################## Thanks for any clues or explanations, Drew -- PGP public key available at http://dparsons.webjump.com/drewskey.txt Fingerprint: A110 EAE1 D7D2 8076 5FE0 EC0A B6CE 7041 6412 4E4A
