Does the hazardous sed call touching debian/rules now account > for the dh_makeshlibs call(s) that might have been missed previously? I don't know about dh_makeshlibs calls specifically. The script is not perfect, and there have been some manual fix-ups needed for some source packages prepared using this script. Two cases that I know of: - if using d-shlibs (which... don't. thanks), you need to pass a --v5 option to it in debian/rules. - if your debian/rules is very manual and includes things like dh_suchnsuch -p<runtimelibpkg> [...] in it, this script fails to fix those up (due to lack of whitespace before the package name). The second of these may be the problem you're describing wrt dh_makeshlibs? Anyway, both of these issues are fixable in the script with some additional seddery, if someone is so inclined. > (I've hinted jmw in this direction a few days ago for libktoblzcheck1c2a > vs. libktoblzcheck1v5 as seen in NEW, and you might have been notified > afterwards; maybe fixing this was just a matter of throwing debian/rules > at the end of the said sed call, and all is well already.) Sorry, I hadn't heard anything about libktoblzcheck. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
