Package: gettext
Version: 0.14.6-1
Severity: important

Hello Santiago,

more stuff from the blender folks. :)

gettext ships several shared libraries in /usr/lib, but only for one
of them there exists an entry in debian/shlibs. If now an application
is linked against one of the others as e.g.
| $ objdump -p blender-bin | grep NEEDED.*gettext
|   NEEDED      libgettextlib-0.14.6.so
dpkg-shlibdeps will output a warning
| $ dpkg-shlibdeps -O /usr/bin/blender-bin 2>&1 | grep warning | fmt
| dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared
| library libgettextlib (soname 0.14.6, path libgettextlib-0.14.6.so,
| dependency field Depends)
and no dependency on gettext will be added during package build.

Of course such a dependency could be added manually or via a
shlibs.local file, but as far as I grok Policy chapter 8 some
additional entries need to be placed in your shlibs. Well, as I'm
generally unsure about library packages this bug only gets filed at
severity important. Please check and decide what action needs to be
taken.

Cheers,
Flo
