lontra@debian:~/debian$ lintian -i kio-sysinfo_1.8-1_i386.changes W: kio-sysinfo source: configure-generated-file-in-source config.status N: N: Leaving config.cache/status causes autobuilders problems. config.cache N: and config.status are produced by GNU autoconf's configure scripts. If N: they are left in the source package, autobuilders may pick up settings N: for the wrong architecture. N: N: The clean rule in debian/rules should remove this file. This should N: ideally be done by fixing the upstream build system to do it when you N: run the appropriate cleaning command (and don't forget to forward the N: fix to the upstream authors so it doesn't happen in the next release). N: If that is already implemented, then make sure you are indeed cleaning N: it in the clean rule. If all else fails, a simple rm -f should work. N: N: Note that Lintian cannot reliably detect the removal in the clean N: rule, so once you fix this, please ignore or override this warning. N: W: kio-sysinfo: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/lib/kde3/kio_sysinfo.so /usr/lib:/usr/share/qt3/lib N: N: The binary or shared library sets RPATH. This overrides the normal N: library search path, possibly interfering with local policy and N: causing problems for multilib, among other issues. N: N: The only time a binary or shared library in a Debian package should N: set RPATH is if it is linked to private shared libraries in the same N: package. In that case, place those private shared libraries in N: /usr/lib/. Libraries used by binaries in other packages N: should be placed in /lib or /usr/lib as appropriate, with a proper N: SONAME, in which case RPATH is unncessary. N: N: To fix this problem, look for link lines like: N: gcc test.o -o test -Wl,--rpath,/usr/local/lib N: or N: gcc test.o -o test -R/usr/local/lib N: and remove the -Wl,--rpath or -R argument. You can also use the N: chrpath utility to remove the RPATH. N: N: Refer to http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue for details.
