Package: lintian
Version: 2.7.0
Severity: normal
Hi there,
jemalloc's pc has this:
[...]
install_suffix=
[...]
Libs: -L${libdir} -ljemalloc${install_suffix}
(install_suffix is autoconf-interpolated at build time, so there is a
reason it exists despite being purposefully empty in Debian)
pkg-config seems entirely happy with that, but lintian complains:
W: libjemalloc-dev: pkg-config-references-unknown-shared-library
usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/jemalloc.pc
-ljemalloc${install_suffix} (line 12)
I'm far from a pkg-config or lintian expert, but I think this is a false
positive, resulting from lintian's inability to interpolate pkg-config
variables before its check.
Regards,
Faidon
