Hi,
while investigating [1], I noticed that this package contains a copy of
parts of glib and exports its symbols. For example, the following says
that libgettextlib exports g_hash_table_new
$ nm --dynamic /usr/lib/libgettextlib-0.19.8.1.so | grep g_hash_table_new
000000000002be50 T g_hash_table_new
000000000002bde0 T g_hash_table_new_full
Attached is the full list of exported symbols, generated with
$ nm --dynamic /usr/lib/libgettextlib-0.19.8.1.so | grep -vE ' U | w '
This list contains many symbols with quite generic names (e.g. quote,
gcd, xmalloc, ...)
Please do something about this.
Cheers,
Uli
