Hi Tom,

this has to do with debian package renaming. This happens when someone (e.g. 
your distro as part of its policies) INHERITS the debian bbclass.

What is happening:
	Imagine I have a package foo and only install a libfoo.so.1.0.0 in the 
libdir. AFAIK according to debian packaging policies the package gets renamed 
from foo to libfoo1. If you have more than one lib installed OE does not know 
which lib name to pick and will print the warning (debian.bbclass:83).

Your options are:
	- Ignore the warning
	- Define a LEAD_SONAME of your primary lib
	- More finegrained packaging.


helpful?
