As a consequence, unless the build system of the compiled software calls ldconfig itself, ldconfig will not be called at all, even if all the conditions for it to be called are fulfilled. I'm not sure if the same issue is true for the "renames" list, my python fu being quite limited. This affects (at least) meta/recipes-support/js/js_1.7.0+1.8.0rc1.bb (see bug 917) 20001 1 andrei 2012-04-06 09:43:21 +0000 Reproduced and confirmed. I will dig into this. @g 20003 2 andrei 2012-04-06 13:53:38 +0000 This is because needs_ldconfig is a local function variable. A way to solve would be to define this variable global but this is a discouraged Another solution would be to return this value in linux_so and i will patch the package class with this fix. Waiting for comments.
