[Biopython-dev] Fwd: Debian python-biopython packaging for Biopython 1.53

[Peter Cock]

Hi all,

Do any of our C experts know if this compilation warning is
important (under Linux Debain, query raised by Philipp Benner
who kindly packages Biopython for Debian, which also get
used on Ubuntu).

Thanks,

Peter

Hey Peter,

I just uploaded the new release. Just a minor question:

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libpthread.so.0 could be
avoided if "debian/python-biopython/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.5/Bio/Cluster/cluster.so
debian/python-biopython/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.5/Bio/Motif/_pwm.so

were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).

is this true? It might also be an error of dpkg-shlibdeps.
