Hi, I'm trying to package 'lhasa' but I'm having some trouble. There is a binary package 'lhasa' shipping a binary which depends on a library from a library package 'liblhasa0', all from the same source. (analogous to curl depending on libcurlX from the same source package)
My packaging is at https://github.com/jmtd/tmp-dpkg-lhasa and the orig tarball can be obtained either via pristine-tar and some magic incantations from that repo or at <http://fragglet.github.com/lhasa/>. I've just pushed the latest version to mentors and will reply with a URL once I have it. The issue, quite simply, is dpkg-shlibdeps bails out when investigating the 'lhasa' binary. Full build log at https://github.com/jmtd/tmp-dpkg-lhasa/issues/1, the pertinent error is > dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library liblhasa.so.0 needed by > debian/lhasa/usr/bin/lha (ELF format: 'elf64-x86-64'; RPATH: ''). > dpkg-shlibdeps: error: Cannot continue due to the error above. > Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have > any shlibs or symbols file. > To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set > LD_LIBRARY_PATH. > dh_shlibdeps: dpkg-shlibdeps -Tdebian/lhasa.substvars > debian/lhasa/usr/bin/lha returned exit code 2 I've tried reading maint-guide, dpkg-shlibdeps(1), dh_shlibdeps(1) and the source for the zlib and curl packages to no avail. I've tried providing a shlibs file containing just > liblhasa 0 liblhasa0(>= 0.0.4-1) no luck. I've found the shlibs documentation fairly impenetrable. I haven't attempted to provide a symbols file, I thought that was overkill at this stage, but perhaps that's the missing link? Any pointers much appreciated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
