# `undeclared-elf-prerequisites`

The installation package contains an ELF executable or object file with dynamic references but does not declare any package prerequisites. The Depends field in the installation `control` file is empty.

This usually happens when `Depends` field in the source control file does not mention `${shlibs:Depends}` or, when not using the `dh` sequencer, there is no call to `dpkg-shlibdeps` in `debian/rules`.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `missing-depends-line`
