Thanks to your patch I decided to leave i386 for the moment but its definitely a candidate for removal. > Also, this broken library package would have been detectable at build time > if you were building with -Wl,-z,defs in LDFLAGS, as that would have > prevented ever generating a shared library with missing symbols.

So I did but was running into new problems which are caused by the hand craftet build system (yes, I tried to convince upstream to use some of the usual candidates but failed :-((( ). I was able to add some missing libs in pbuilder chroot but whatever trick I try[1] the build system always constructs a different command line than I tested inside the pbuilder chroot. Do you have any idea to stop this insane messing up with library options? [1] https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/ncbi-vdb/blob/master/debian/patches/fix_linking.patch -- http://fam-tille.de
