Subject: lacks-unversioned-link-to-shared-library false positive

Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2020 23:57:11 +0200

Package: lintian
Version: 2.15.0
Severity: normal

Dear Lintian maintainers,

lintian report a warning:
W: libpari-gmp-tls6: lacks-unversioned-link-to-shared-library
usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpari-gmp-tls.so.2.11.4
usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpari-gmp-tls.so

However while there is a requirement that the -dev package provides
a *.so symlink to libpari-gmp-tls.so.2.11.4, there is no requirement
that it has the same basename 'libpari-gmp-tls'.
In the above case the link is named libpari.so.

This seems an easy to avoid false positive.

Cheers,

Imagine a large red swirl here.

Control: tag -1 pending

Hello,

Bug #963099 in lintian reported by you has been fixed in the
Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit
message below and you can check the diff of the fix at:

https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/6b922b209338348a2270987e6798072868ad2cd7

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not insist on a particular name for unversioned links to a shared library. (Closes: #963099)

This filing showed us that the previous check was not well-designed. The tag
description was amended, as well. What a great insight about those links!

Per below, the offending hint from the bug report is now gone.

Thank you to Bill Allombert for bringing the matter to our attention!

   [ Axel Beckert ]
   * Adopting Lintian. (Changes #1012289 from ITA to pure RFH.)
     + Remove Chris Lamb from Uploaders (see #1012289) and re-add myself.
   * Workarounds until
     https://github.com/Perl-Critic/Perl-Critic/issues/925 is fixed:
     + Replace all occurrences of "Copyright ©" with "Copyright (C)" again.
     + Remove unnecessary usage of UTF-8 from bin/lintian.
     + Replace UTF-8 characters in mostly Copyright comments.
     + Replace UTF-8 characters in code with \N{…}.
   * Remove literal unicode character U+0334 COMBINING TILDE OVERLAY which
     likely had been added accidentally. (Triggered by the symptoms of
     https://github.com/Perl-Critic/Perl-Critic/issues/925, but permanent.)
   * Update copyright years in debian/copyright.
   * Run perltidy over lib, bin/lintian, private/refresh-perl-provides,
     private/runtests and several files in t/scripts/.
   * data/…/perl-provides updated by running "debian/rules
     refresh-perl-provides".
   * Add Felix Lechner to debian/copyright based on copyright statements
     elsewhere. Thanks for all your contributions!
   * Update t/recipes/README: "debian/rules runtests" → "private/runtests"
   * Follow module renaming: Perl::Critic::Freenode → Perl::…::Community.
   * t/s…/h…/tag-coverage.t: Replace "$ENV{'LINTIAN_BASE'}" with
     "$ENV{'LINTIAN_BASE'} // '.'" to be able to run it with "prove -l".
   * init.d-general check: Avoid relying on line numbers in #DEBHELPER#
     replacement code.
   * very-long-line-length-in-source-file: Ignore files listed in new data
     file binary-file-extensions. (Closes: #1005046)
   * Fix false positives for adopted-extended-field with X- prefixed
     fields. (Closes: #999768)
     + Empty hints files seem to require a Test-Against field in desc.
   * Update own source lintian-overrides for "pointed hints".
     + Make them work with old and new lintian versions by using wildcards.
   * Rename README.developers to have a proper file suffix (.pod).
   * Switch syntax marker of README.developers.pod from "perl" to "pod".
   * Documentation update: Replace directory "frontend/" with "bin/".
   * Fix a bunch of "Use of uninitialized value $_ in concatenation"
     warnings when running tests with "prove -l" directly.
   * README.developers.pod: Explain the difference between check and test.
   * lintian(1): Drop mentioning of never existing --no-overrides option.
   * Replace unfitting Text::Glob with more flexible Regexp::Wildcards
     (Closes: #1003353)
     + Add unit test for Lintian::Util::match_glob. The current testsuite
       does not seem to be able to cover such a case.
   * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.6.1. (No changes needed.)
   * Refresh data using private/refresh-data. Skip unreleased policy though
     for now.
   * Fix "Use of uninitialized value $step in concatenation" in
     Lintian::Version which showed up as unrecognized tag (!) when running
     the test suite on the git repo already tagged for a release.
   * debian/gbp.conf: Declare so far used tag format so that gbp uses it.
   * Add lintian override for very-long-line-length-in-source-file in
     Lintian::Check::Cruft as well as test-leaves-python-version-untested.
   * Use versioned Breaks instead of Conflicts against lzd, see #1001655.
     Thanks Lintian for reporting ;-) and Paul Gevers for the sanity check!
 .
   [ Felix Lechner ]
   * Refresh manual references.
   * Use Text::Glob to match hint contexts with override patterns. Replaces
     a trusted homegrown routine. (Closes: #1003272)
   * Refresh list of available Debhelper commands.
   * Refresh list of installable fonts.
   * Generate section references for Lintian manual from repo; point to
     website.

     checks or tags.
   * Refresh data sources in parallel.
   * Add the New Maintainer's Guide to the list of quotable authorities.
