[Bug 1303189] [NEW] kwin crashes at launch asking for libwayland-egl.so.1 under X11

[Ivan Vučica]

Public bug reported:

When KDE session tries to launch kwin under X11, it crashes. Manually launching it from terminal gives the following error:
  kwin: error while loading shared libraries: libwayland-egl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Same for kwinactive:
  kwinactive: error while loading shared libraries: libwayland-egl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The relevant file in Debian comes from libegl1-mesa-drivers. (I looked
up in Debian as Ubuntu's http://packages.ubuntu.com/file:libwayland-
egl.so.1 is broken.)

'locate libwayland-egl.so.1' says the file lives in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa-egl. Adding this path to dynamic loader's path fixed the issue.
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa-egl:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH kwin

The real question, I guess, is how come there is a dependency on a
library intended for Wayland while running under X11... and, more so,
how come the relevant path is not already part of the ld path.
