[Bug 299489] Re: [jaunty] /usr/lib/libupsclient1.so is a dangling link

[Morten Kjeldgaard]

Attached is a patch to nut_2.2.2-9 from Debian (unstable). Please merge!

Unfortunately, the fix by Debian maintainer Arnaud Quette is not
sufficient to fix the problems with the package. I have done extensive
modifications to the package to get it right. Here is the latest
changelog:

nut (2.2.2-9ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
  * The Debian packager wanted to move move the shared libraries
    from /usr/lib to /lib, but it was done by setting --prefix=/ which
    does not give the desired results, and in addition resulting in
    the pkgconfig and .la files being incorrect. This release fixes
    the dangling shared library link for the -dev package (LP: #299489).
  * debian/rules: Now, --prefix is back to /usr, and --exec-prefix=/
    and --libdir=/lib instead, which has the desired effect of moving
    the libraries to /lib.  The many shell commands in debian/rules,
    for moving files from the install directory to the package
    directories have all been replaced by dh_* calls and matching
    <package>.* files.
  * Added debhelper files: libupsclient1-dev.install,
    libupsclient1-dev.manpages, libupsclient1.install, nut-cgi.install,
    nut-cgi.manpages, nut-hal-drivers.install, nut-snmp.install,
    nut-snmp.manpages, nut-xml.install, nut-xml.manpages, nut.install,
    nut.lintian-overrides, nut.manpages.
  * Modified debhelper files: nut.dirs.
  * debian/libupsclient1-dev.links added to provide a link from
    /usr/lib/libupsclient.so -> /lib/libupsclient.so.1.0.0
    This is a transitional measure, to salvage packages that have not yet
    been updated to the new library location. Can be removed sometime in the
    future.
  * debian/control: versioned build depends on debhelper (>= 6.0.7~), because
    we are now using dh_lintian.
  * debian/compat changed to 6
  * Added patch to configure.in adding AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])
  * configure attempts to locate /usr/lib/hal in order to define
    callouts path and device information path. Therefore hal needs to
    be present in Build-Depends:
