I think lintian is right. You know what's your library name and you know the version part? I'm not an library guru, but I think the library name is "libid3-3.8" and the version is 3.0.0, so lintian expectd a symling from usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libid3-3.8.so to usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libid3-3.8.so.3.0.0 For the other messages, at least P no-dep5-copyright are easily fixable and dep5 is IMHO now considered as best-practice. just my 2 cents. > Anyway, I *did* upload a new version which fixes a small issue with the > previous upload and I'm looking forward to additional comments.
