[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#463393: hdf5: FTBFS: missing library libh5test-1.6.5.so.0

[Adam C Powell IV]

Package: hdf5
Version: 1.6.5-5
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

Greetings,

The binary h5perf in the hdf5-tools package requires the library
libh5test-1.6.5.so.0 which is not in any binary package.  With
hdf5-tools installed, this results in:
# /usr/bin/h5perf
h5perf: error while loading shared libraries: libh5test-1.6.5.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Because of this, dh_shlibdeps is failing:

Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any shlibs or symbols file.
To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1

It seems dh_shlibdeps has become stricter, so this now causes FTBFS,
which is RC. :-(

Note the library is sitting right in the test directory.  Aha, it
defines PUB_LIB= so PUB_LIB=$(LIB) is ignored.  The attached patch fixes
this, and makes the install_shlib and install_devlib files more general
so it gets installed in the package.

Now the package builds, and the result is:
# /usr/bin/h5perf
No parallel IO performance because parallel is not configured

Cheers,
-Adam
