[Bug 1398037] Re: libgif-dev: dangling symlinks for missing files libungif.a, libungif.la, libungif.so

[J G Miller]

Please move this bug from package graphviz to libgif4.

Launchpad is deficient in not asking which package to file a bug
against, if a bug has just been reported on a package, and continues to
append bug reports to the same package..

Title:
  libgif-dev: dangling symlinks for missing files libungif.a,
  libungif.la, libungif.so

Status in graphviz package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"
  VERSION="14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr"

  For both  architecture i386 and architecture amd64 version packages of
  libgif-dev

  Package: libgif-dev
  Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss at lists.ubuntu.com>
  Source: giflib
  Version: 4.1.6-11

  dangling symlinks are created in /usr/lib

  0 lrwxrwxrwx 1  root root   8   2013-12-16 07:24   /usr/lib/libungif.a -> libgif.a
  0 lrwxrwxrwx 1  root root   9   2013-12-16 07:24   /usr/lib/libungif.la -> libgif.la
  0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  15   2013-12-16 07:24   /usr/lib/libungif.so -> libgif.so.4.1.6

  No package contains libgif.la. but both libgif.a and libgif.so.4.1.6
  are located in /usr/lib/{architecture}, where architecture is i386
  -linux-gnu or x86_64-linux-gnu, or as appropriate for other
  architectures.

  Please correct the libgif-dev install script to point these symbolic
  links to the file in the correct directory, and either supply
  libgif.la if appropriate in the libgif4 package or do not create the
  symbolic link to libgif.la.
