missing symlink for ROOT libraries

[Danny van Dyk]

(this bug is similar to bug #1180808)

When installing root-plugin-math-minuit2, I noticed a problem when linking against libMinuit2.so.
Using LIBDIR=$(root-config --libdir), you are pointed to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, which contains a symlink

   libMinuit2.so.5.34 -> root5.34/libMinuit2.so.5.34

Linking with 'g++ -lMinuit2 -L$(LIBDIR) [...]' then fails, since $(LIBDIR) does not contain the libMinuit2.so.

Please add symlinks 'libMinuit2.so -> libMinuit2.so.5', and 'libMinuit2.so.5 -> libMinuit2.so.5.34', as is usual
for shared objects.

One should probably audit all ROOT packages against this bug.

I ran into the same issue. Is there any package maintainer willing to fix this??? It's been 2 years since the first report...
