Re: Subject: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unknown output from ldd on

[Rob Cymbala <cymbala@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Regarding yesterday's error messages when using alien to convert the
ViaVoice SDK into a .deb package... here is additional information.

In an attempt to isolate the error, a spare hard drive was given a
fresh installation of Debian 2.2r2 from December 2000.  I thought it
would help with sound card configuration too, as a sound blaster AWE64
was added after installing release 2.2r0 from August 2000.

With a brand new operating system, using alien to convert the two
ViaVoice packages from red hat to debian resulted in errors with both
conversions.  Using the existing debian installation from August the
RTK converted to a .deb package without warnings. Using the more
recent debian from December generated warnings during the RTK
conversion.

Below are two sets of warning messages (first RTK then SDK). 

For RTK, alien "could not find any packages for... libstdc++-libc6".
Really quickily I wasn't able to find such a package.  Somehow with
the previous installation it could find it, probably because one day I
added a package that fulfilled a dependency.  It's odd that alien
knows that the dependency isn't fulfilled and yet finishes by saying
"successfully completed."

For SDK, alien could not find any packages for both libstdc++-libc6
and libXm.  Previously it could!  I wonder which package(s) are
missing that previously I had installed.  The one warning that
happened regardless of which Debian installation was used is the one
about libibmeci50.  That makes sense because the name suggests an IBM
library.  It's odd that documentation doesn't mention the need for
that library in instructions to install ViaVoice TTS.

I'll read email now and look for replies from yesterday.  Two section
immediately below are separated with two equal signs, first RTK then
SDK.
