Source: binutils
Version: 2.42-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Looking at libgprofng0's debian symbols file
"/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgprofng0\:amd64.symbols" line: 1170
_ZN3Elf19get_funcname_in_pltEm@Base 2.42-2
As shown above, the version number should be 2.42, but it is 2.42-2.
When I tried to build the package, the following error message appeared.
```

```
As you can see from the above, there are some bad parts in
`debian/libgprofng0.symbols`.
`man 5 deb-src-symbols` does not find `subst` tag.
One fix way is to write the following using `regex` tag.
```
(regex)"^_ZN3Elf19get_funcname_in_pltE[my]@Base$" 2.42
```
When a function has two or more arguments, for example,
replace `[my]` with `[lmxy]+`, or more simply `.*`.
Another fix way is to write the following using `arch-bits`tag.
```
(arch-bits=64)_ZN3Elf19get_funcname_in_pltEm@Base 2.42
(arch-bits=32)_ZN3Elf19get_funcname_in_pltEy@Base 2.42
```
As a suggestion, the following is written in `debian/libgprofng0.symbols`,
but it is ambiguous to list negative types in `arch` tag specification,
so I think it should be avoided.
```
(arch=!i386 !x32)_Z13dbeGetSamplesiill@Base 2.41
```
Thank you,
Hiroyuki YAMAMORI
