Package: libamd-smi26
Version: 7.2.0-3
Severity: serious

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

The unversioned library file libamd_smi.so is missing from libamd-smi26
(it is wrongly provided in package libamd-smi-dev).

As I understand it, this is a violation of Debian Policy §8.1.

Version: 7.2.0-3

Thanks for the report, but this is working as intended and does not
violate Policy §8.1.

The library's SONAME is versioned, not "libamd_smi.so":

  $ readelf -d libamd_smi.so.26.2.1 | grep SONAME
  0x000000000000000e (SONAME)   Library soname: [libamd_smi.so.26]

The files are distributed per Policy accordingly:

  libamd-smi26 (runtime, §8.1):
    libamd_smi.so.26.2.1          (real object)
    libamd_smi.so.26 -> .26.2.1   (SONAME symlink)

  libamd-smi-dev (§8.4):
    libamd_smi.so -> libamd_smi.so.26   (unversioned link for ld(1))

Per Policy §8.4 the unversioned libamd_smi.so is a *development* file and
belongs in the -dev package; it is not a run-time file. Placing it in
libamd-smi26 would be the actual Policy violation.

I confirmed the same SONAME and layout in the current 7.2.4-1.

Closing. Please reopen if you can show the SONAME is actually unversioned.
