Packages installing shared libraries in + non-standard locations were previously permitted to modify + /etc/ld.so.conf to add the non-standard path, but this permission was + removed in Policy 3.8.3. + . + Packages containing shared libraries should either install them into + <code>/usr/lib</code> or should require binaries built against them to set + RPATH to find the library at run-time. Installing libraries in a + different directory and modifying the run-time linker path is equivalent + to installing them into <code>/usr/lib</code> except now conflicting library + packages may cause random segfaults and difficult-to-debug problems + instead of conflicts in the package manager. |
