Hello,
thanks for your reply! I have also tried removing the reference to pthread.h in my program, hoping that it would take the symbols from libc, but I still got the same warning from dpkg-shlibdeps. So, should I put the reference to pthread back in and leave it like that (with the warning) and submit the bug against dpkg-dev?
