Hi What do you mean the libraries are broken ? I can install the package and everything runs ok . But I do not like these messages OR something can cause a trouble I do not see

The Lintian tags that you're getting imply that the SONAME of this library is just "libvae.so" without any version, not "libvae.so.2" like it should be. Such libraries without SONAMEs can't be represented in shlibs, which is causing both of the errors that you're getting. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
