$ dpkg  S /usr/lib/libbar.so.1

bar1: /usr/lib/libbar.so.1

$ dpkg  s bar1 | grep Version

Version: 1.0 1

This tells us that the

bar1

package, version 1.0 1, is the one we are using. Now we can file a

bug against the

bar1

package and create our own

debian/shlibs.local

to locally fix the

problem. Including the following line into your

debian/shlibs.local

file:

libbar 1 bar1 (>= 1.0 1)

should allow the package build to work.

As soon as the maintainer of

bar1

provides a correct

shlibs

file, you should remove this line

from your

debian/shlibs.local

file. (You should probably also then have a versioned

Build Depends

on

bar1

to help ensure that others do not have the same problem building

your package.)
