The offending file is in + <code>/etc/ld.so.conf.d</code>. + . + It is not okay to install libraries in a different directory and then + modify the run-time link path. Shared libraries should go into + <code>/usr/lib</code>. Alternatively, they can require binaries to set the + <code>RPATH</code> to find the library. + . + Without this precaution, conflicting libraries may trigger segmentation + faults for what should have been a conflict in the package manager. +See-Also: debian-policy 10.2 |
