Jajk, I see the following diff : 7c7 < Depends: x11, openmotif3-shlibs, %N-shlibs (= %v-%r) --- > Depends: x11, %N-shlibs (= %v-%r) 12c12 < make OPT_FLAGS="-O3 -I%p/include" LIB_DIR=lib darwin --- > make OPT_FLAGS="-O3 -I%p/include" LIB_DIR=lib darwin LDFLAGS="- Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup" 22c22 < Depends: x11, openmotif3-shlibs --- > Depends: x11 This doesn't make the pkg any different,at least for users who have openmotif3 installed (this was an obvious missing buildepend in the previous version and still is_) For such users, there will be no undefined symbols, and the additional LDFLAGS won't do anything. For the others, they are picking up probably a variety of symbols from lesstiff, or from openmotif4 when that is there, (or from several of those..), depending on their configuration at build time, and you are generating a bunch of different debs, probably all of them illegal since they have no dep on the libraries from which they linked symbols ! A correct package must generate identical debs independent of the installation on which it is built !
