Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.13.11 Severity: minor So I was trying, in my madness, to build xorg packages over NFS recently, and I noticed that the build was spending a ridiculously long time running dh_shlibdeps (as opposed to the ridiculously long time it was spending doing... anything else), and I decided to poke and see why this was.
I found an entertaining answer.
# Now: See if it is in this package. See if it is in any other package.
sub searchdir {
my $dir = shift;
if(opendir(DIR, $dir)) {
my @dirents = readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);
for (@dirents) {
if ( -f "$dir/$_/DEBIAN/shlibs" ) {
push(@curshlibs, "$dir/$_/DEBIAN/shlibs");
next;
} elsif ( $_ !~ /^\./ && -d "$dir/$_" && ! -l "$dir/$_" ) {
&searchdir("$dir/$_");
}
}
}
}
This function apparently isn't content to look for
debian/$pkg/DEBIAN/shlibs; it feels a need to look for things like
debian/xfonts-75dpi-transcoded/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/helvB24-ISO8859-9.pcf.gz/DEBIAN/shlibs
as well.
Based on how this function is invoked, a more appropriate implementation may
be:
sub searchdir {
my $dir = shift;
if (opendir(DIR, $dir)) {
my @dirents = readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);
for (@dirents) {
if ( -f "$dir/$_/DEBIAN/shlibs" ) {
push(@curshlibs, "$dir/$_/DEBIAN/shlibs");
}
}
}
}
