Package: tetex-bin Version: 3.0-11sarge12 Severity: important Hi all, hi Martin,
since we apply the libpoppler patch to tetex-bin that you kindly provided, all binaries get linked to "everything", This is easiest seen with the libkpathsea library, which is also linked against lots of unneeded things: $ ldd /usr/lib/libkpathsea.so.4 libpoppler.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.0 (0xb7ec9000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7d94000) libcairo.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 (0xb7d51000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xb7d22000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0xb7d04000) libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0xb7c4a000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb7c28000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7c1f000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0xb7c16000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7b4f000) libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0xb7b2a000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xb7abd000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7aab000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xb7a8b000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7a87000) Previously, neither the X-related nor the image format related libraries where in there, and especially not libstdc++ (kpathsea is a pure C application). I don't know how this is happening, but this line looks suspcicious: -gcc -shared [long list of .lo files] -Wl,-soname -Wl,libkpathsea.so.4 -o ../kpathsea/.libs/libkpathsea.so.4.0.0 +gcc -shared [long list of .lo files] -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libpoppler.so -Wl,-soname -Wl,libkpathsea.so.4 -o ../kpathsea/.libs/libkpathsea.so.4.0.0 why is there this "/usr/lib/libpoppler.so"? Of course, libtool invocation two lines earlier changed: -/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -o ../kpathsea/libkpathsea.la -rpath /usr/lib -version-info 4:0:0 [long list of .lo files] +/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -o ../kpathsea/libkpathsea.la -lpoppler -rpath /usr/lib -version-info 4:0:0 [long list of .lo files] I'm not sure whether the problem is that -lpoppler is passed - I thought that gcc is clever enough not to link against libraries from which no symbols are used. But why does libtool pass "/usr/lib/libpoppler.so"?
