Package: brltty Version: 3.8-8 Severity: normal Tags: patch d-i brltty uses dlerror w/o linking to libdl. The attached patch fixes this. (Though probably not in the ideal way, as I just stuck -ldl into the Makfile in the first place I found to put it. :-)
Background: This fix is needed to fix d-i to work again on sparc, alpha, and s390. To fix bug #433874, we're going to have to make mklibs take symbol versions into account. The way brltty is linked, information about symbol versions from libdl are not available, which will break the new version of mklibs. This doesn't just affect mklibs; linking binaries w/o symbol versions can break them down the road, if a new version of the symbol is added to the library. I may or may not NMU for this, depending on time issues and whether I manage to sort out other problems in the new mklibs. If you would like the NMU I have prepared, just let me know. -- see shy jo
