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.
