Title:
  libc6-dev amd64 has broken links

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm getting some broken symbolic links in the libc6-dev package:

  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$/libnss_db.so -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_db.so.2
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$/libsoftokn3.so -> /libsoftokn3.so

  I tried reinstalling via apt-get, but the broken links persist.  This
  is causing some build problems for me because of the libnss_db link.
