sharedobject-in-library-directory-missing-soname
A shared object was identified in a library directory (a directory in the standard linker path) which doesn't have a SONAME. This is usually an error.
SONAMEs are set with something like gcc -Wl,-soname,libfoo.so.0,
where 0 is the major version of the library. If your package uses libtool,
then libtool invoked with the right options should be doing this.
To view the SONAME of a shared library, run readelf -d on the
shared library and look for the tag of type SONAME.
The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163.
That is the most recent version we know about.
We use semantic versions.
The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the
2.108.0
release tag in our Git
repository.
You can find the detection logic for this version at commit a1e47cb. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check libraries/shared/soname/missing.
