[Bug 458475] [NEW] Regina install fails to create link called "libregina.so"

[Thurston]

Public bug reported:

When the regina3 package is installed the following shared library is
placed in /usr/lib

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 421664 2007-10-31 10:08 libregina.so.3.3

and a link to it is created.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 2009-10-22 14:21 libregina.so.3 ->
libregina.so.3.3

so that applications can refer to it as libregina.so.3
but most applications that want to call Regina Rexx will refer to the library as "libregina.so"
I fixed my local problem with an application that was trying to use libregina.so by manually adding a link 

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     14 2009-10-22 14:22 libregina.so ->
libregina.so.3

Please can you amend the config script to add this generic name
automatically.

Thanks
