Package: cmake Version: 2.8.5-1~bpo60+1 Severity: normal
Currently cmake does not allow generation of python module. Python module as per policy should not have a SONAME. Currently it leads to warnings during dpkg-shlibs steps: "binary contains an unresolvable reference to symbol sym" ref: The indicated symbol has not been found in the libraries linked with the binary. The binary is most likely a plugin and the sym- bol is probably provided by the program that loads this plugin. In theory a plugin doesn't have any SONAME but this binary does have one and as such it could not be clearly identified as such. However the fact that the binary is stored in a non-public directory is a strong indication that's it's not a normal shared library. If the binary is really a plugin, then disregard this warning. But there's always the possibility that it's a real library and that programs linking to it are using an RPATH so that the dynamic loader finds it. In that case, the library is broken and needs to be fixed.
