Lintian tag: maintscript-calls-ldconfig

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The given maintainer script calls ldconfig, but such calls in maintainer
scripts should be replaced instead by a dpkg trigger.

Please replace the ldconfig call with an activate-noawait ldconfig
trigger. With Debhelper, it is usually sufficient to add that line to
debian/<package>.triggers.

This warning may appear if the package was compiled with Debhelper older
than version 9.20151004. Assuming all ldconfig invocations were added by
Debhelper, this tag should disappear when the package is rebuilt with a
newer version of Debhelper.

Please refer to
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/08/msg00412.html for details.

Visibility: warning
Show-Always: no
Check: maintainer-scripts/ldconfig

Screen: glibc/control/ldconfig
Advocates: "Debian Lintian Maintainers" <lintian-maint@debian.org>
Reason: The packages built from glibc (notably libc-bin) need to call
ldconfig in order to implement the ldconfig trigger.

Transferred from the check.
