Package: libleptonica
Version: 1.69-3
Severity: important
Justification: inaccurate dependency in shlibs file (policy ยง8.6.3)
Tags: patch
Hi,
Packages linking to a library use the shlibs system to automatically
compute their dependencies. This makes the work of the release team a
lot easier --- when the ABI of a library changes in such a way as to
require a stricter dependency for binaries built against it, the
correct dependency gets used automatically with no need for manual
effort to add it in the depending package.
Currently the dependencies computed through the shlibs system for
libleptonica are inaccurate: because they are unversioned, they are
satisfied by libleptonica from wheezy as well, which does not even
provide liblept.so.3. To work around this, libtesseract3 gained a
hard-coded versioned dependency.
Let's fix the shlibs file so we can drop that workaround in tesseract
and create fewer surprises for future users and packagers working with
the library.
