error: no dependency information found for /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2

[jean-christophe-manciot]

On system Ubuntu Server 15.10 4.2.0-25-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 18 12:31:50 UTC 2016 x86_64
I experience this error whether I run dpkg-buildpackage on sources with 2.8.6 tag or current commit 3c19e02
I tried to reinstall libxml2 but there is no change in behavior.

Here's a workaround from dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for: add the following lines in debian/rules:

override_dh_shlibdeps:
    dh_shlibdeps --dpkg-shlibdeps-params=--ignore-missing-info

It is necessary to insert a TAB instead of spaces before "dh_shlibdeps ..."

Hi~. This not work for me.
I add this line in debian/rules

But still encountered the same error message.

Is your editor transforming tabs into spaces?

@jean-christophe-manciot are you still experiencing this issue on the latest version of nemo?

[jean-christophe-manciot]

No.
