Package: emboss-lib
Version: 5.0.0-7
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 8.2
8.2. Shared library support files
---------------------------------
If your package contains files whose names do not change with each
change in the library shared object version, you must not put them in
the shared library package. Otherwise, several versions of the shared
library cannot be installed at the same time without filename clashes,
making upgrades and transitions unnecessarily difficult.
$ dpkg -c /srv/ftp-master.debian.org/ftp/pool/main/e/emboss/emboss-lib_5.0.0-7_amd64.deb |grep libeplplot
-rw-r--r-- root/root 582604 2008-05-16 12:28 ./usr/lib/libeplplot.a
-rw-r--r-- root/root 352320 2008-05-16 12:28 ./usr/lib/libeplplot.so.3.2.7
-rw-r--r-- root/root 807 2008-05-16 12:28 ./usr/lib/libeplplot.la
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-05-16 12:28 ./usr/lib/libeplplot.so -> libeplplot.so.3.2.7
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2008-05-16 12:28 ./usr/lib/libeplplot.so.3 -> libeplplot.so.3.2.7
That seems to be a violation of the above clause. The same applies to
the versions in testing and unstable.
Cheers,
Julien
