Package: libarchive12 Version: 3.0.4-3+wheezy3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
After installing a recent security update for libarchive12:amd64 (3.0.4-3+wheezy3), the following message was displayed: Preparing to replace libarchive12:amd64 3.0.4-3+wheezy2 (using .../libarchive12_3.0.4-3+wheezy3_amd64.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libarchive12:amd64 ... Setting up libarchive12:amd64 (3.0.4-3+wheezy3) ... ldconfig: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libarchive.so.12 is not a symbolic link The ldconfig message regarding libarchive.so.12 now appears any time that ldconfig is run, e.g. by aptitude. The problem may be related to the updated .deb containing the libarchive.so.12 file rather than a link to libarchive.so.12.0.4, as in the previous package. Here is a debdiff for the current version and its predecessor: ======================================= $ debdiff old/libarchive12_3.0.4-3+wheezy2_amd64.deb new/libarchive12_3.0.4-3+wheezy3_amd64.deb [The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have different names, permissions or owners.] Files in second .deb but not in first ------------------------------------- -rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libarchive.so.12 Files in first .deb but not in second ------------------------------------- lrwxrwxrwx root/root /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libarchive.so.12 -> libarchive.so.12.0.4 Control files: lines which differ (wdiff format) ------------------------------------------------ Installed-Size: [-671-] {+1290+} Version: [-3.0.4-3+wheezy2-] {+3.0.4-3+wheezy3+} ======================================= -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.11 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libarchive12 depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.51-8 ii libattr1 1:2.4.46-8 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-4 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u11 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 ii libnettle4 2.4-3+deb7u1 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+wheezy6 ii multiarch-support 2.13-38+deb7u11 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 libarchive12 recommends no packages. libarchive12 suggests no packages.
