I build all packages some time ago with binutils-gold and your package build without an hard failure, but I noticed that you seems to provide a library in a specific library package so other packages can link against it without problems.... but your shared object has still some unresolved symbols which the program which links agaomst it must resolve. This isnt a good idea because when you introduce new dependencies the package previously linked against the old version will break because it doesnt know about the new dependency. Maybe you could link against all needed libraries so programs must not link against libraries which it doesnt need to use. Maybe it is related to following bugs which hard failed due to unresolved symbols in programs http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/[email protected];tag=no-add-needed More informations can be found at http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS#A2009-11-02Packagesfailingbecausebinutils-gold.2BAC8-indirectlinking dpkg-shlibdeps already showed you the related warnings: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol XrmSetDatabase used by debian/libxmu6/usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol XCreatePixmap used by debian/libxmu6/usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol XFillRectangle used by debian/libxmu6/usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol XInternAtom used by debian/libxmu6/usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol XGetErrorDatabaseText used by debian/libxmu6/usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol XFreeColormap used by debian/libxmu6/usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol XRecolorCursor used by debian/libxmu6/usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol XDeleteProperty used by debian/libxmu6/usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol XGrabServer used by debian/libxmu6/usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol XGetGCValues used by debian/libxmu6/usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: 58 other similar warnings have been skipped (use -v to see them all). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
