When the link doesn't include the version number, it is used by + the linker when other programs are built against this shared library. + . + Shared libraries are supposed to place such symbolic links in their + respective "-dev" packages, so it is a bug to include it with the main + library package. + . + However, if this is a small package which includes the runtime and the + development libraries, this is not a bug. In the latter case, please + override this warning. +See-Also: + debian-policy 8.4 |
