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 g_type_name used by debian/libxfce4menu-0.1-0/usr/lib/libxfce4menu-0.1.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol g_object_class_install_property used by debian/libxfce4menu-0.1-0/usr/lib/libxfce4menu-0.1.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol g_value_get_boolean used by debian/libxfce4menu-0.1-0/usr/lib/libxfce4menu-0.1.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol g_object_ref_sink used by debian/libxfce4menu-0.1-0/usr/lib/libxfce4menu-0.1.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol g_object_unref used by debian/libxfce4menu-0.1-0/usr/lib/libxfce4menu-0.1.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol g_object_new used by debian/libxfce4menu-0.1-0/usr/lib/libxfce4menu-0.1.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol g_object_add_weak_pointer used by debian/libxfce4menu-0.1-0/usr/lib/libxfce4menu-0.1.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol g_value_set_object used by debian/libxfce4menu-0.1-0/usr/lib/libxfce4menu-0.1.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol g_param_spec_object used by debian/libxfce4menu-0.1-0/usr/lib/libxfce4menu-0.1.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol g_type_interface_add_prerequisite used by debian/libxfce4menu-0.1-0/usr/lib/libxfce4menu-0.1.so.0.0.0 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: 16 other similar warnings have been skipped (use -v to see them all). _______________________________________________ Pkg-xfce-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-xfce-devel
