The same bug / crash happens with all qt4 based apps that (accidentally) load the system-installed libqt4 - as it is build against libjpeg.so.8, while binaries are usually build against libjpeg6, which causes a crash.

That's OK as long as someone cares. And seeing the sorry state of the lsb package from openSUSE 11.3 I'm pretty sure nobody cares enough. - "libpng >= 1.2"? libpng14-14-1.4.3 provides that - What about libjpeg? Isn't just that we don't guarantee the soname will be correct, we don't even guarantee a jpeg library will be installed As always, any volunteers?
This pixbuf loader bug is just one example.
There are lots of libraries that aren't under LSB that also change sonames maintaining some symbols. Solve the problem only for LSB will not help with all the binaries out there that use extra libraries. Symbol versioning is the solution (but ideally upstream should do that). The pixbuf loader bug would have never happened in Debian because: - Debian version $ objdump -T libjpeg.so.62 | fgrep jpeg_mem_init 000000000001d230 g DF .text 0000000000000006 LIBJPEG_6.2 jpeg_mem_init - openSUSE 11.3 version $ objdump -T /usr/lib64/libjpeg.so.62 | fgrep jpeg_mem_init 000000000001cac0 g DF .text 0000000000000003 Base jpeg_mem_init -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Exactly. so, the question in this case should not be LSB compliance but what to do with libjpeg.

I have been looking better at this. The http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/ImprovedDpkgShlibdeps thing that I linked before isn't about versioning symbols as I misunderstood. It's just a way to map package versions with new symbols, so an automatic script looks at a binary, sees it requires a symbol that was introduced in version 1.2 of libA and so makes the package depend on "libA >= 1.2". It's basically the same than symbol versioning, but external and without the pixbuf bugfixing capabilities. The cause Debian's libjpeg62 package uses symbol versioning is because of http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-release@lists.debian.org/msg35322.html. They were more prudent than us with the libjpeg8 transition and made upstream release a new version, 6b1, with symbol versioning. The only problem is that I don't know where to obtain that 6b1 version anymore (http://www.ijg.org/files/ only has version 8). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
