Hi,
when building a 32bit program on amd64 I get the following problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mbr/mbr-1.1.5$ dpkg-shlibdeps -O debian/tmp/sbin/install-mbr
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: could not find any packages for libc.so.6
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared
library libc (soname 6, path libc.so.6, dependency field Depends)
The reason for this is that dpkg-shlibdeps only knows the old standard
dirs (lib + lib64) and then follows /lib/ldconfig/* links for any
other system dirs. The 32bit libc6 is in /emul/ia32-linux/lib (/lib32/
link) and will not be found.
ldd and ldconfig do look in these directories (I mean /lib32 and
/usr/lib32, but they follow the symlinks), even without the symlink in
/lib/ldconfig, so if dpkg-shlibdeps does not look in this directory, I
think the bug is in this tool.
Installing (the not needed) ia32-libs, which contains
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 18 15:45 /lib/ldconfig/emul_ia32-linux_lib ->
/emul/ia32-linux/lib
Again, ldconfig was only intend for multiarch, please don't use this
directory for other things. Moreover it is not needed here.
, results in the correct dpkg-shlibs behaviour:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mbr/mbr-1.1.5$ dpkg-shlibdeps -O debian/tmp/sbin/install-mbr
shlibs:Depends=libc6-i386 (>= 2.3.5-1)
May I suggest to add /lib/ldconfig/lib32 -> /lib32 and
/lib/ldconfig/usr_lib32 -> /usr/lib32 to the libc6-i386 package so
packages will get the correct Depends again.
As explained above, this only a workaround, not a fix. The fix has to be
done in dpkg-shlibdeps, that's why I am reassigning this package to dpkg.
