Hi Bill, unfortunately your package fails to build from source with -Wl,--as-needed flags (the default e.g. in Ubuntu).
the attached patch fixes the issue, please let me know if I can upload it on Debian (of course after changing the revision) --- passwordsafe-0.98.1+dfsg.orig/src/test/Makefile +++ passwordsafe-0.98.1+dfsg/src/test/Makefile @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ TEST = $(BINPATH)/coretest OBJ = $(TESTOBJ) $(LIBOBJ) CXXFLAGS += -DUNICODE -Wall -I$(INCPATH) -std=c++11 -LDFLAGS = -L$(LIBPATH) -lcore -luuid -los -lcore -lxerces-c -pthread +LDFLAGS = -L$(LIBPATH) -lcore -los -luuid -lxerces-c -pthread # rules .PHONY: all clean test run setup basically uuid is needed for core and os libraries, so it should be the last one, otherwise it will be stripped by the linker because of "unneeded". you can also grab the patch from the Ubuntu upload http://launchpadlibrarian.net/251858702/passwordsafe_0.98.1+dfsg-2_0.98.1+dfsg-2ubuntu1.diff.gz cheers, Gianfranco
