Package: libtool
Version: 1.6-0+1.5a-4
Severity: normal
Relinking fails when $libdir is detected as being empty. This is due
to the following code:
# Determine the prefix the user has applied to our future dir.
inst_prefix_dir=`$echo "$destdir" | $SED "s%$libdir\$%%"`
# [...]
if test "$inst_prefix_dir" = "$destdir"; then
$echo "$modename: error: cannot install \`$file' to a directory not
ending in $libdir" 1>&2
The correct way to check that "$destdir" ends with "$libdir" is
the following:
if test "$inst_prefix_dir$libdir" != "$destdir"; then
Simple patch attached.
