Package: binutils-multiarch Version: 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 Severity: normal binutils-multiarch breaks libbfd.a users since it diverts libbfd.a to libbfd-single.a but does not in fact provide a libbfd.a itself. So if you install binutils-dev to get libbfd.a, but binutils-multiarch is installed you in fact do not have libbfd.a and linking fails. This for example affect ksymoops. If binutils-multiarch is installed, ksymoops is not buildable. Removing binutils-multiarch makes it buildable again.
it seems either binutils-multiarch should leave libbfd.a alone, or provide one itself. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages binutils-multiarch depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries binutils-multiarch recommends no packages. binutils-multiarch suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
