[Unbound-users] unbound daemon linking bug?

[Paul Wouters]

Hi,

It seems the unbound daemon binary "unbound" does not actually
link in the libunbound.so dynamically.

This means packagers did not find the dependancies, so unbound
does not depend on unbound-libs. When upgrading the "unbound"
package this does not update the libunbond pacakge.

I don't think there is a valid reason for the unbound daemon not
to link against the unbound library instead of including a static
copy.

I confirmed this to be a problem for unbound packaged on fedora/rhel/centos.
It might also be an issue for other distributions that mistakenly
assumed the unbound daemon uses a shared linbound.so library.
