my test is to open the attached abstraction with
$ puredata -noprefs pdstring-test.pd
which gives me:
<snip>
 any2string
error: ... couldn't create
</snip>

puredata (the 0.43.0-4) finds neither the library nor the abstraction of
the name "any2string".

the former can be a bug in your documentation (i have to admit that i'm
not so familiar with [declare]), as it would look for a library
"extra/pdstring" where the pdstring.pd_linux file really is
extra/pdstring/pdstring.pd_linux, so it should probably read "-stdlib
extra/pdstring/pdstring".

after closer inspection it seems like this _might_ be a bug in the
"puredata" package, which seems only to consider "/usr/lib/puredata/" as
a stdpath, and it won't search "extra/pdstring" in "/usr/lib/pd".

i'm not entirely sure though (given the nastiness of [declare])
if you think that it is a bug in "puredata-core", please file a bugreport.

all arguments to uscan must be in the same line, so the you might want
to add a \ for line-continueation to the "opts" line (which ought to go
before the http://...)
