Re: [Libguestfs] [libguestfs] Problem building appliance/guestfsd.deps on debian
* Richard W.M. Jones:
We have a report of a problem with building appliance/guestfsd.deps
on
Debian 10. This code which you contributed:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/133a49167778195f0cf043a1d...
seems to cause problems with certain libraries which are symlinks. In
particular:
dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libacl.so.1
I suppose that the problematic symlink is not
libacl.so.1 -> libacl.so.1.1.2253 (or similar)
but rather
/lib -> /usr/lib
"ldconfig -p" lists only /lib/<triplet> paths because its configuration
(at least on my systems) prefers /lib/<triplet> befreo
/usr/lib/<triplet>.
Since my contributed code was inspired by what dpkg-shlibdeps does, I
suspect that its maintainers might have run into similar problems when
usrmerge was introduced. I'll investigate what solution they came up
with (because I can't think of anything foolproof).
Cheers,
