[Bug 1398028] [NEW] libgraphviz-dev: dangling symbolic links for missing files libgvplugin_gdk.so and libgvplugin_gtk.so

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Impact
======
libgraphviz-dev has dangling symlinks.

Test Case
=========
Verify that libgraphviz-dev depends on libgvc6-plugin-gtk and that
libgvplugin_gdk.so.6.0.0 and libgvplugin_gtk.so.6.0.0 exist in libgvc6-plugin-gtk.

Regression Potential
====================
None. This simply installs one file that had been built but not installed (the GDK plugin) and adds a missing dependency from libgraphviz-dev to the graphviz GTK plugin library built in the same package.

Other Info
==========
These bugs were fixed in Debian's graphviz 2.38.0-13 and -14 and fixed in yakkety.

Original Bug Report
===================

PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"
VERSION="14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr"

Package: libgraphviz-dev
Architecture: i386
Source: graphviz
Version: 2.36.0-0ubuntu3

In /usr/lib/graphviz, dangling symbolic links to non-existing files are
created.

0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  24    2014-02-20 14:11   libgvplugin_gdk.so -> libgvplugin_gdk.so.6.0.0
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  24    2014-02-20 14:11   libgvplugin_gtk.so -> libgvplugin_gtk.so.6.0.0

No package contains either  libgvplugin_gdk.so.6.0.0  or
libgvplugin_gtk.so.6.0.0: neither graphviz i386 architecture package nor
amd64 architecture package.

Perhaps these symbolic links are an unintended remnant from the
libgraphviz to graphviz transition.

If not, then libgvplugin_gdk.so.6.0.0 and libgvplugin_gtk.so.6.0.0
should be provided in the graphviz package.
