I am having a problem when packaging a shared library (libgimpprint from CVS). It is normally named libgimpprint-<version>.so e.g. currently libgimpprint-4.1.4.so, but I get errors when packaging (see below). However, if I change that naming to libgimpprint.so.4.0.0, I do not get these lintian errors. Is there any way to package non-versioned shared libraries?
Apologies if this is a really dumb question: I am not entirely sure of what all of the shlibs fields do, and am using dh_makeshlibs to do it. The debianised source and i386 packages are available at: <http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~rl117/gimp-print> Thanks for any help, Roger Lintian output: E: libgimpprint: shlib-missing-in-control-file libgimpprint-4.1.4 usr/lib/libgimpprint-4.1.4.so N: N: The package contains a shared library, which is not listed in the N: shlibs control file. If this is intentional, please contact N: [EMAIL PROTECTED] about this so that this error gets included N: in the overrides file for Lintian.
