I can reproduce it on the lintian runner for UDD: $ lintian libgprofng0_2.45.50.20251125-1_amd64.deb E: libgprofng0: ships-undeclared-shared-library libgprofng 0 for usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgprofng.so.0.0.0 [shlibs] E: libgprofng0: symbols-file-contains-current-version-with-debian-revision on symbol _Z10sym_lookupP9Sym_Tablem@Base and 8 others (libgprofng.so.0) [symbols] E: libgprofng0: symbols-for-undeclared-shared-library libgprofng 0 W: libgprofng0: distant-prerequisite-in-shlibs #MINVER# [shlibs] W: libgprofng0: distant-prerequisite-in-shlibs 2.44 [shlibs] W: libgprofng0: distant-prerequisite-in-shlibs x32)_ZN6VectorIyE4typeEv@Base 2.44 [shlibs] W: libgprofng0: shared-library-not-shipped (arch=!i386 !x32)_Z13dbeGetSamplesiill@Base [shlibs] W: libgprofng0: shared-library-not-shipped (arch=!i386 !x32)_Z14dbeGetGCEventsiill@Base [shlibs] W: libgprofng0: shared-library-not-shipped (arch=!i386 !x32)_Z14dbeGetSelObjIOimi@Base [shlibs] W: libgprofng0: shared-library-not-shipped ... use "--tag-display-limit 0" to see all (or pipe to a file/program) The runner runs Debian 13 with a manually backported lintian 2.127.0 Lucas
