"ln -s libintl.so.9 libintl.so.8" has been misused a lot lately.
Are there any programs that will detect these links and remind the
user that they have a new library masquerading as an old one?
A quick hack in Ruby to address this:
http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/fakelib/fakelib.rb
It's not particularly fast or elegant. On the other hand, it's short
and does detect the link above.
Trying much too hard there. This command is all you need:
find /usr/lib /lib -name '*.so.*' -type l
Any file named libfoo.so.N in the base system should be a regular file:
any symbolic links indicate shlib abuse.
This is not generally true for shlibs installed from ports, mostly due
to the prevalence of linuxisms like ABI version numbers that aren't
simple integers. Even so, applying a little intelligent scrutiny to the
list of results will help you sort out any spurious linkage.
Could you expand on this part?
find reports 83 links in /usr/local/lib. But only the fake libintl.so.8
is linked to a port-created library but not recorded as part of the
gettext package.
