deb-shlibs(5) dpkg suite deb-shlibs(5)
deb-shlibs - Debian shared library information file
shlibs files map shared library names and versions (sonames) to
dependencies suitable for a package control file. There is one
entry per line. Blank lines are not allowed. Lines beginning
with an # character are considered commentary, and are ignored.
All other lines must have the format
[type:] library version dependencies
The library and version fields are whitespace-delimited, but the
dependencies field extends to the end of the line. The type
field is optional and normally not needed.
The dependencies field has the same syntax as the Depends field
in a binary control file, see deb-control(5).
The shlibs file for a typical library package, named libcrunch1,
that provides one library whose soname is libcrunch.so.1, might
read
libcrunch 1 libcrunch1 (>= 1.2-1)
The dependencies must mention the most recent version of the
package that added new symbols to the library: in the above
example, new symbols were added to version 1.2 of libcrunch.
This is not the only reason the dependencies might need to be
tightened.
