Security team should sub to bugmail of prelink and libelf (nobody subscribed to libelf's).
I wonder whether we should add lpia support to these packages. I mostly care about number of packages FTBFSing on lpia rather than getting the new feature on lpia though. == libelf == libelf has a couple build time warnings: update.c: In function '_elf_output': update.c:915: warning: ignoring return value of 'ftruncate', declared with attribute warn_unused_result The lintian output on libelf seems to imply it's not maintained actively in Debian: W: libelf source: debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error line 34 W: libelf source: debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error line 36 W: libelf source: substvar-source-version-is-deprecated libelfg0-dev W: libelf source: package-uses-deprecated-debhelper-compat-version 4 W: libelf source: ancient-standards-version 3.6.2.2 (current is 3.8.3) W: libelf source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config.sub 2004-03-12 W: libelf source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config.guess 2004-06-11 The autotools warnings make porting harder but given that this works on the required arches already it's a non-issue for Ubuntu main I guess. No watch file, passes --host + --build unconditionally, misc other small things. Since we're in sync with Debian and the package works I wont bother with these. == prelink == Packaging in similar state as libelf's; same comments.
