Hi, I'm trying to package libncl[1] but I failed to fight the following lintian error:
E: ncl-tools: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/bin/NCLconverter /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ncl N: N: The binary or shared library sets RPATH. This overrides the normal N: library search path, possibly interfering with local policy and causing N: problems for multilib, among other issues. N: N: The only time a binary or shared library in a Debian package should set N: RPATH is if it is linked to private shared libraries in the same N: package. In that case, place those private shared libraries in N: /usr/lib/<package>. Libraries used by binaries in other packages should N: be placed in /lib or /usr/lib as appropriate, with a proper SONAME, in N: which case RPATH is unnecessary. N: N: To fix this problem, look for link lines like: N: gcc test.o -o test -Wl,--rpath,/usr/local/lib N: or N: gcc test.o -o test -R/usr/local/lib N: and remove the -Wl,--rpath or -R argument. You can also use the chrpath N: utility to remove the RPATH. N: N: Refer to https://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue for details. N: N: Severity: serious, Certainty: possible N: N: Check: binaries, Type: binary, udeb N: E: ncl-tools: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/bin/NEXUSnormalizer /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ncl E: ncl-tools: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/bin/NEXUSvalidator /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ncl I deactivated my quilt patches and the override_dh_auto_configure since nothing really helped. Any hint would be welcome. Kind regards Andreas. [1] git://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/libncl.git -- http://fam-tille.de
