Are you using debhelper and dh_installmanpages to install the man pages automatically? dh_installmanpages has some brain-dead behavior (even I think this, and I wrote it), that it defaults to installing all man pages into all binary packages, which is almost never what you really want. Use -p to work around it (ie, "dh_installmanpages -pxdelta" to only install the manpages into the xdelta package). I plan to correct this at some point, probably by writing a new version of dh_installmanpages. > Is there a way to let xdelta know that it depends onto libxdelta1 > because of the shared library dependency, maybe using a shared library > mapping file?

I can't think of any general way to make debhelper look at the control file and know it needs to set a LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I typically hardcode this dependancy info into the control file when I'm in this siutation. Anyone else have a better way to handle it? > 4) Links to shared libraries in *deb file > - ----------------------------------------- > Lintian reports: > W: libxdelta1: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink usr/lib/libxdelta.so.1.0.0 > usr/lib/libxdelta.so > What should I do about this? W: libxdelta1: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink usr/lib/libxdelta.so.1.0.0 usr/lib/libxdelta.so N: N: Though this package is not a -dev' package, it installs a symbolic N: link referencing the corresponding shared library, where the link name N: does not include the version number of the shared library. N: N: If there is also a -dev' package for this shared library, this is N: most likely a bug. If this is a small package which includes the N: runtime and the development libraries, this is not a bug. In the N: latter case, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] about this so N: that this error gets included in the overrides file for Lintian. (With N: that, Lintian will ignore this bug in the future.) N: Don't install that symlink in the xdelta1 package, put it in xdelta1-dev. -- see shy jo
