My package: http://mentors.debian.net/package/resiprocate
The warning: http://lintian.debian.org/tags/dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink.html a) I notice the warning is appearing for the lib package and NOT the -dev package itself b) I notice the verbose output (on the mentors summary page) shows an SONAME in a slightly different format: usr/lib/librutil-1.8.so.0.0.0 usr/lib/librutil-1.8.so Notice: librutil-1.8.so, while the -dev package creates a symlink in the form librutil.so c) If I install the packages manually on my own machine, I find the symlink is really there after installing the -dev package: root@wheezy1:/tmp# dpkg -i libresiprocate-1.8_1.8.0~pre2-1_amd64.deb Selecting previously unselected package libresiprocate-1.8.
