then libtool should be fixed. there is no documented requirement that
the path has to be normalized.

Package: libffi3-dev
Version: 1:3.4.1-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

libffi.la has the following libdir:

libdir='/usr/lib/../lib'

That cuases libtool to add the rpath option when linking against the
library which in turn prevents shlibs to work (since no package
contains /usr/lib/../lib/libffi.so) which in turn miscompiles
e.g. sablevm which in turn causes FTBFS for a lot of java packages.

MfG
 Goswin

Warty avoids this issue by having a dpkg-shlibdeps that resolves symlinks. The
fix is checked into debian cvs, but I don't know if it was uploaded to debian yet.

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Yeah, this is fixed in Warty ... looks like Goswin tripped the same bug as us
and lied in his bug report (the actual libdir is /usr/lib64/../lib or
something); our dpkg-shlibdeps is more intelligent about this.

I don't think it's a libtool bug either, Garbage-In-Garbage-Out.

I haven't punted the fix to Debian yet, am waiting until post-sarge before
another dpkg so the release managers don't have my balls for dinner.

severity 268152 important
thanks

Given that the bug in libffi3-dev has been resolved, I don't see any
reason that this bug in libtool should still be considered grave.

Thanks,
