Dear Lintian Maintainers, I'm writing to request an override for the "anjal" package. The error is: E: anjal: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/anjal /usr/lib/evolution/2.28
Anjal [1] is an GUI front-end for Evolution designed for small form factor devices. So naturally Anjal depends upon many .so libraries in the Evolution package. But those .so libraries is considered private by Evolution so they are installed in /usr/lib/evolution/2.28. To use them Anjal is built by using RPATH that point to /usr/lib/evolution/2.28, and this is considered by lintian to be an error (it was warning before). Evolution upstream developers don't agree to move those Evolution .so libraries into public directory "/usr/lib" since they are private, should not be used by other programs and there's no intention to maintain a stable API of them. Anjal is considered a part of Evolution project so the API between Anjal and Evolution will be maintained by Evo upstream. I asked on debian-devel list and was suggested to add an override here. Could you please take a look? The "anjal" package can be found at [2]. Thank you very much.
