[Bug 612847] [NEW] [Maverick] Issues when package version is included in its name or directory, like xulrunner-1.9.2.8

[Harry]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xulrunner

In several occasions there are problems when a package name or the
installation directory name contains version numbers.

Two examples:

1) Package xulrunner-1.9 is installed into a directory xulrunner-1.9.2.8
Other packages cannot find packages and links become broken after an update, because the name of the directory is changed (for example gnome-shell cannot locate libmozjs.so).

2) Package libx264-98 cannot be updated because dependencies to other packages would be broken
(for example vlc-nox would be broken).

** Affects: xulrunner (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New


** Tags: libx286-98 xulrunner-1.9
