[R-pkg-team] Bug#1058751: r-cran-rcppparallel: broken symlinks: /usr/lib/R/site-library/RcppParallel/lib/libtbb*.so.*.8 -> ../../../../<triplet>/libtbb*.so.*.8

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: r-cran-rcppparallel
Version: 5.1.7+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package ships
broken symlinks.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

3m44.2s ERROR: FAIL: Broken symlinks:
  /usr/lib/R/site-library/RcppParallel/lib/libtbb.so.12.8 -> ../../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libtbb.so.12.8 (r-cran-rcppparallel)
  /usr/lib/R/site-library/RcppParallel/lib/libtbbbind_2_5.so.3.8 -> ../../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libtbbbind_2_5.so.3.8 (r-cran-rcppparallel)
  /usr/lib/R/site-library/RcppParallel/lib/libtbbmalloc.so.2.8 -> ../../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libtbbmalloc.so.2.8 (r-cran-rcppparallel)
  /usr/lib/R/site-library/RcppParallel/lib/libtbbmalloc_proxy.so.2.8 -> ../../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libtbbmalloc_proxy.so.2.8 (r-cran-rcppparallel)

I'm not sure whether these links are used at all (I didn't find any
obvious references in r-cran-rcppparallel, but then again I have no
experience with the R ecosystem).
If they are unused, they should be simply dropped from the package.

If you really need them, I'd suggest to only use the SONAME, i.e.
without the '.8' suffix.

(Currently the library files use a file version suffix of .11, but that
could change again in the next new upstream version upload.)


cheers,

Andreas
