(using LP handles rather than names, too many Simons around on this bug)
Hi smcv, thanks for looking into this!
This was deliberately reverted from Debian a long while ago, with this
as the only comment:
- Revert dropping the ldconfig wrapper, as we still have a lot of
packages that don't ship a trigger but instead call in postinst.
Sadly, it was done by Adam Conrad so we can't ask him for more context,
but between the data you dug up and the date of the upload (2016-03-22,
2.23-0ubuntu2 to Xenial), I think I can now fill in the blanks: at the
time, we probably still had quite a few packages that hadn't picked up
the new dh_makeshlibs behavior because they simply hadn't been rebuilt,
both in the archive and in the wider ecosystem, and it did make sense to
try and minimize the impact for the LTS.
Assuming I'm correct, I think we can afford the risk. I say we drop the
delta in the upcoming merge, mention it in the Resolute release notes in
case somebody out there relies on it, and try and find any call to
either ldconfig or ldconfig.real in the Ubuntu archive, to migrate the
latter to plain ldconfig, and check if the former is still needed.
Assigning this to another Simon, @simpoir, since he's handling the
upcoming merge.
