Purging chroot-autobuild/build/buildd/lsh-utils-2.0.4-dfsg

[Magnus Holmgren (holmgren)]

The cause of the failure is that multiarch support was added to heimdal, but the symlinks /usr/lib -> heimdal weren't moved accordingly. On the other hand the output from krb5-config --libs doesn't seem to be used correctly, and that should fixed.

This bug was fixed in the package heimdal - 1.5~pre2+git20110804-1ubuntu3

---------------
heimdal (1.5~pre2+git20110804-1ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Fix .so and .a symlinks in heimdal-dev. Closes: #640278, LP: #831164.

builds with fixed heimdal-dev

[Georg Rath (georg-rath)]

I am not sure you fixed the symlinks the right way. I tried building openldap with heimdal-dev as a dependency (for the smbk5pwd module) and it didn't work, so I took the symlink fixing from the precise release of heimdal-dev and it worked like a charm.

The changes I ported are attached.
I am quite new to packaging, so any feedback would be appreciated.
