Package: libdbi-drivers Version: 0.7.1-2 The drivers generated by this source package have a severe issue related to dynamic linking in them.
They expect to be able to find symbols in the libdbi.so library implicitly when they are dlopen()ed. Unfortunately if libdbi.so is linked to by another .so which is dlopen()ed into the app at runtime, with the RTLD_LOCAL flag set, then libdbi.so will also be loaded with its symbols "LOCAL" and as such any attempt to dlopen() a libdbd-foo driver will fail with a missing symbol. The way to fix this is for the libdbd-foo drivers to be linked against libdbi also. This means that the dynamic linker will find the symbols at runtime despite the presence of the RTLD_LOCAL flag and all will be well. Please consider simply adding "-ldbi" to all the LDFLAGS lines in the drivers.
