[Pkg-mono-devel] Solving dh_clideps warnings "missing shlibs"

[C.J. Adams-Collier]

Sounds to me like the webkit-sharp.dll.config file has a bad <dllmap />
element.

It should be something like

<dllmap dll="libwebkit-sharp.dll" target="libwebkit-1.0.so.0"/>

The policy docs (and Mirco) can tell you more specifics.

Cheers,

C.J.
