Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.21.9
Severity: normal
While checking the nvida-cuda-toolkit buildd logs [1], I came across a
long sequence of repeated error messages:
pkg-shlibdeps: warning: can't extract name and version from library name
'libfoobar.so'
There are about 40 repetitions of this warning (with no further messages
interleaved) for most of the libraries, but I don't know what this
number corresponds to.
Since nvida-cuda-toolkit just repacks upstream binary libraries we
unfortunately have to cope with a lot of libraries without proper sonames.
