Package: zlib Version: 1.2.3.3.dfsg-9 Severity: important The provided symbols files do not match reality on all arches. It seems to me that you have to provide arch-specific symbols files that include either a 32bit version or a 64bit version depending on the case apparently.
Check an i386 build log for example: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=zlib;ver=1%3A1.2.3.3.dfsg-9;arch=i386;stamp=1200516862 dh_makeshlibs -plib64z1 -V"lib64z1 (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1)" dpkg-gensymbols: warning: some new symbols appeared in the symbols file. dpkg-gensymbols: warning: debian/lib64z1/DEBIAN/symbols doesn't match completely debian/lib64z1.symbols --- dpkg-gensymbols7sP2KO 2008-01-16 20:54:07.707983818 +0000 +++ dpkg-gensymbolseAdvHu 2008-01-16 20:54:07.707983818 +0000 @@ -6,11 +6,13 @@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.2.2.4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.2.2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.1.4 + [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-9 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.1.2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.1.4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.1.4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.2.0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.1.4 + [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-9 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.2.2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.1.4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.2.0 [...] and also: dh_makeshlibs -plib32z1 -V"lib32z1 (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1)" dpkg-gensymbols: warning: some libraries disappeared in the symbols file. dpkg-gensymbols: warning: doesn't match completely debian/lib32z1.symbols --- dpkg-gensymbolsvDsOxI 2008-01-16 20:54:07.934939759 +0000 +++ dpkg-gensymbolsI9FM24 2008-01-16 20:54:07.934939759 +0000 @@ -1,71 +0,0 @@ -libz.so.1 zlib1g #MINVER# - [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:1.2.0.2 [...] FYI, in turns it leads to the lintian error: E: lib64z1: symbols-file-contains-current-version-with-debian-revision on symbol [EMAIL PROTECTED] and 4 others -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
