Hi Joey,
(log edited for brevity)
<Robot101> walters: how do I stop cdbs from running dh_makeshlibdeps on all the
packages?
<Robot101> walters: it's false-positivey on Gaim's plugins, leading to
extraneous calls to ldconfig
<walters> * dh_makeshlibs: only scan files matching *.so.* and *.so, not
*.so*.
<walters> Closes: #204559
<walters> Robot101: does that fix it?
<Robot101> walters: no
<Robot101> walters: they are .so files, but they're in /usr/lib/gaim/. plugins,
not shared libs.
<Robot101> but anyway, I have DEB_DH_MAKESHLIBS_ARGS := -plibgaim-remote0 -V
<Robot101> so it should only be doing libgaim-remote anyway
<Robot101> or am I missing something?
<Robot101> I could always do DEB_DH_MAKESHLIBS_ARGS_gaim := --no-act
<Robot101> but that's fucking evil :D
<walters> Robot101: hmm. the plugins are in both packages?
<Robot101> walters: there are three packages, gaim, libgaim-remote0 and
libgaim-remote-dev
<Robot101> gaim has /usr/lib/gaim/*.so, plugins. libgaim-remote0 has libs in
/usr/lib
<walters> Robot101: i see.
<walters> Robot101: hm, well, maybe dh_makeshlibs should only look at .so files
in /usr/lib and /lib, not /usr/lib/packagename
<walters> (would that break anything?)
<vorlon> nothing in Debian should be allowed to link to libs in
/usr/lib/packagename, really, so probably not.
<walters> joeyh: ayh?
<calc> it would break packages which are still buggy
<Robot101> W: gaim: postinst-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig
<Robot101> W: gaim: postrm-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig
<Robot101> see what lintian does to find that error
* calc coughs about something that is probably buggy ;)
<Robot101> lintian checks to see if files are put in any of these directories:
lib, usr/lib, usr/lib/libg++-dbg, usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d, usr/local/lib,
usr/X11R6/lib, usr/lib/libc5-compat, lib/libc5-compat

Russ Allbery and I did a round of in-person bug triage at DebConf17 and
we are closing this bug as inactive.
The reasons for closing fall into the following categories, from most
frequent to least frequent:
- issue is appropriate for Policy, there is a consensus on how to fix
the problem, but preparing the patch is very time-consuming and no-one
has volunteered to do it, and we do not judge the issue to be
important enough to keep an open bug around;
- issue is appropriate for Policy but there does not yet exist a
consensus on what should change, and no recent discussion. A fresh
discussion might allow us to reach consensus, and the messages in the
old bug are unlikely to help very much; or
- issue is not appropriate for Policy.
If you feel this bug is still relevant and want to restart the
discussion, you can re-open the bug. However, please consider instead
opening a new bug with a message that summarises and condenses the
previous discussion, updates the report for the current state of Debian,
and makes clear exactly what you think should change.
A lot of these old bugs have long side tangents and numerous messages,
and that old discussion is not necessarily helpful for figuring out what
Debian Policy should say today.
