Package: lintian Version: 2.5.19 Severity: normal While working on my unofficial syslog-ng packages[1], I came across a spurious warning when running Lintian on the results:
E: syslog-ng-core: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/lib/syslog-ng/3.5.0rc1/libcryptofuncs.so /usr/lib/syslog-ng:/usr/lib/syslog-ng/3.5.0rc1 This seemed strange, as the RPATH some of the binaries set (/usr/lib/syslog-ng:/usr/lib/syslog-ng/3.5.0rc1) is, by the letter of policy, allowed: both components are under /usr/lib/$srcpkg. The reason lintian fails is because it's prepared to find multiple RPATHs set within an object, but not for the case where a single record uses : as a separator (a'la PATH). It ends up checking that the rpath is either /usr/lib/$srcpkg or /usr/lib/$srcpkg/: the ':' confuses it. I will submit a patch in a few minutes that corrects lintian by splitting the rpath into components first. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.23.90.20130927-1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-5 ii diffstat 1.57-1 ii file 1:5.14-2 ii gettext 0.18.3.1-1 ii hardening-includes 2.4 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.30-7 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.35-1 ii libdigest-sha-perl 5.85-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.16.12 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.192-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.03-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.92-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.33-1+b2 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.06~01-2 ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 ii liburi-perl 1.60-1 ii man-db 2.6.5-2 ii patchutils 0.3.2-2 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.18.1-4 ii t1utils 1.37-2 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libautodie-perl 2.21-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.18-1+b3 ii perl-modules [libautodie-perl] 5.18.1-4 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.16.12 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-1+b1 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
