Hello! I packaged kbirthday, a KDE kicker applet that reminds of birthdays (which it reads from the KDE adressbook).
I've got one message from lintian and one from linda - but two different ones. linda tells me: W: kbirthday; Contains shared libraries, but is not in Section: libs or base. Technically, a kicker applet is a shared object. >From users view, it is a (kicker) application. So I'd like to have it in section "kde". Is it ok to disregard this warning? lintian tells me: E: kbirthday: no-shlibs-control-file usr/lib/libkbirthday.so Problem is: The library has no soname version number at all (*), and as far as I understood, there's no shlibs without a soname version. Do I have to beat upstream until he sets such a number? Or is there a possibillity for a valid shlibs file without it? The files can be found here: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~eikes/debian/kbirthday/ Ciao, Eike (*) $ objdump -p debian/kbirthday/usr/lib/libkbirthday.so | grep SONAME SONAME libkbirthday.so
