Hi Everyone, I am trying to build a Debian package a Python library that includes shared object from boost.
When building on machine the files and the proper links are included, here is an example: I am building the package like this: (machine1) $ python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb ... Now I check that the symbolic links and the objects are still there: (machine1) $ dpkg -c deb_dist/python-dataextract_8200.14.0819.2015-1_all.deb | grep date -rw-r--r-- root/root 95000 2014-08-20 05:20 ./usr/share/pyshared/dataextract/lib/libboost_date_time.so.1.53.0 rwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2015-07-01 10:46 ./usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dataextract/lib/libboost_date_time.so -> libboost_date_time.so.1.53.0 rwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2015-07-01 10:46 ./usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dataextract/lib/libboost_date_time.so.1.53.0 -> ../../../../../share/pyshared/dataextract/lib/libboost_date_time.so.1.53.0 rwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2015-07-01 10:46 ./usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/dataextract/lib/libboost_date_time.so -> ../../../../python2.7/dist-packages/dataextract/lib/libboost_date_time.so Now one the other machine with exact same version of python-stdeb I issue the same build command, with a different result: (machine2) $ dpkg -c deb_dist/python-dataextract_8200.14.0819.2015-1_all.deb | grep date -rw-r--r-- root/root 95000 2014-08-20 05:20 ./usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dataextract/lib/libboost_date_time.so rwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2015-07-01 10:32 ./usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/dataextract/lib/libboost_date_time.so -> ../../../../python2.7/dist-packages/dataextract/lib/libboost_date_time.so As you can see the versioned files `libboost_date_time.so.1.53.0` are missing and I am quite puzzled why. I must also say that, this machine is the exception. I have other machines where the package builds properly. Can someone please provide a clue?
