> 0m5.7s ERROR: Package purging left files on system: > /lib/libnss_winbind.so > /lib/libnss_wins.so This is due to us shipping files in /lib which have an SONAME, but not shipping the symlink that matches that soname. $ objdump -p /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2 |grep SONAME SONAME libnss_winbind.so $ objdump -p /lib/libnss_wins.so.2 |grep SONAME SONAME libnss_wins.so $ As a result, the symlinks are created when ldconfig runs, but are never removed. This could be fixed by shipping these symlinks in the package, but I believe it would be better to simply fix the soname in the libs (or remove it entirely).
