[solved] libtrace.so

[ghostbunny]

Hi packagers,

i have a question. i'm processing on this http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,104559.0.html

but on the installation it wants a libtrace.so. The package itself provides a so called lib in a example directory. But i think the goal isnt a copy/paste of this library. is there an command to check all packages from synaptic whether they contain a libtrace.so? So i think its better to add a dependence instead of this example lib.

What do you think about this?

Thanks in advance

i didn't found a package, too. So i will use the copy/paste method ^^

It's so pretty dirty 

btw: thanks for your help AS

It doesn't say that in the thread  

but on the installation it wants a libtrace.so. The package itself provides a so called lib in a example directory. But i think the goal isnt a copy/paste of this library. is there an command to check all packages from synaptic whether they contain a libtrace.so?

Code: [Select]

[terry@dell logs]$ apt-cache whatprovides libtrace
<libtrace>
  nothing provides <libtrace>

If the library is not built by the package (but supplied as an example) you can add a %define _requires_exceptions to stop RPM from requiring it as a dependency.

Or have I misunderstood the question?
