Title:
  libmotif4 should provide libmotif3 symlinks (libXm.so.3, etc.)

Status in “openmotif” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “openmotif” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  [FFe] Please consider the patch attached to comment #3 of LP: #1026640
  for a Feature Freeze exception.

  [IMPACT]
  Libmotif3 has been replaced in the repositories by libmotif4 which is binary compatible with the older version.
  However, libmotif4 does not include the required symlinks.

  [Test Cases]
  The archive attached to comment #4 of LP: #1026640 contains executables Xmtest-libmotif3-i386, Xmtest-libmotif4-i386, Xmtest-libmotif3-amd64 and Xmtest-libmotif3-amd64.

  Install package libmotif4 and verify that both Xmtest-libmotif3-* and
  Xmtest-libmotif4-*, as appropriate for your architecture, are able to
  be executed.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal: this change applies to additional library symlinks.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  According to the Open Motif 2.3.3 release notes:
  http://www.motifzone.com/files/public_downloads/openmotif/2.3/2.3.3/RELEASE.txt
  New location for release notes:
  http://motif.ics.com/open-motif-233-release-notes

  "1.1. Overview of Open Motif

  Open Motif 2.3.3 is an updated version of Open Motif 2.3.
  Any applications built against a previous 2.x release of Open Motif will be
  binary compatible with this release."

  Dependencies should also be revised, currently package libmotif4
  Conflicts: libmotif3
  Replaces: libmotif3

  This should be updated to include:
  Provides: libmotif3

  And the following symlinks should be created:
  libMrm.so.3 -> libMrm.so.4
  libUil.so.3 -> libUil.so.4
  libXm.so.3 -> libXm.so.4
