>Description:
The suse_compat package doesn't handle the symlink:
libncurses.so.2.1 -> libncurses.so.1.9.7a
created in /emul/linux/usr/lib during a "make install". I don't grok
the rpm2pkg stuff, so I'm not sure where the problem lies.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd pkgsrc/emulators/suse_compat
make install
pkg_delete suse_compat
ls /emul/linux/usr/lib/libncurses.so.2.1 # and see that it's there.
>Fix:
This symlink should be created/removed with the appropriate @exec/
@unexec lines in the PLIST. It's apparently done correctly for the
other shared libraries, but libncurses is slightly different in that
libncurses.so.1.9.7a is linked to both libncurses.so.1.9 _and_
libncurses.so.2.1. I would guess that rpm2pkg needs to by modified
in some way.
