Package: snort-common-libraries
Version: 2.8.5.2-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
snort ships libtool la files in subdirectories of /usr/lib which
contain nonempty dependency_libs lines. Please either
a) stop shipping the la files (I do not know whether snort needs
them.)
or
b) clean dependency_libs (straightforward patch attached).
