I'm still working on the packaging of fw4spl (a medical software) for
the Debian-Med project [1], and I'm faced to an issue for a few days.
I've this lintian warnings ;
W: fw4spl: postinst-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig
W: fw4spl: postrm-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig
and I don't understand why. Here are the two concerned scripts :
https://alioth.debian.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=debian-med/fw4spl.git;a=blob_plain;f=debian/postinst;hb=HEAD
https://alioth.debian.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=debian-med/fw4spl.git;a=blob_plain;f=debian/postinst;hb=HEAD
It works like it but I get the two lintian warnings. I did these
operations
By "these two operations" you presumably mean
sh -c "echo '/usr/lib/fw4spl' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/fw4spl.conf"
and
rm /etc/ld.so.conf.d/fw4spl.conf
(To be clear, those are NOT the commands Lintian is complaining about.
The allegedly useless calls to ldconfig were automatically generated by
debhelper.)
This is incorrect. You must not put anything to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/. This
directory is reserved for glibc and for the system administrator.
Moreover, the postrm script is not idempotent, which is also a serious
bug.
because the shared libraries weren't found by ldconfig.
Could you explain what exactly was wrong?
