Lintian tag: package-modifies-ld.so-search-path
Type: error
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
The package changes the search path for the runtime linker, but is not
part of libc. The offending file is in /etc/ld.so.conf.d.
It is not okay to install libraries in a different directory and then
modify the run-time link path. Shared libraries should go into /usr/lib.
Alternatively, they can require binaries to set the RPATH to find the
library.
Without this precaution, conflicting libraries may trigger segmentation
faults for what should have been a conflict in the package manager.
Please refer to Libraries (Section 10.2) in the Debian Policy Manual for
details.
