I am trying to package fortranposix library. I produced some debian
packages but I am not satisfied with their quality. For example, when I do
$lintian -i libfortranposix0_0.1-1_i386.deb
E: libfortranposix0: ldconfig-symlink-missing-for-shlib
usr/lib/libfortranposix.so.0 usr/lib/libfortranposix.so.0.0.0
libfortranposix.so.0
N:
N: The package should not only include the shared library itself, but
N: also the symbolic link which ldconfig would produce. (This is
N: necessary, so that the link gets removed by dpkg automatically when
N: the package gets removed.) If the symlink is in the package, check
N: that the SONAME of the library matches the info in the shlibs file.
N:
N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 8.1 for details.
N:
I thought ldconfig automatically creates the necessary symbolic links
provided the postinst, postrm scripts invoke ldconfig properly. My
postinst, postrm scripts are generated by dh_makeshlibs in the rules file.
I have temporarily hosted all my files under
http://24.58.0.114/debian-mentors/
so that some mentors could have a look into the debian directory and
tell me what I am doing wrong.
Also http://24.58.0.114/debian-mentors/fortranposix-0.1/build.log
contains the output of dpkg-buildpackage .
Thanks for any help
