In Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on x86_64 I am experiencing the following bug in libgif-dev 4.1.6-11:
Symbol links for libungif.a, libungif.la, and libungif.so are created in /usr/lib that point to libgif.a, libgif.la and libgif.so.4.1.6 respectively. However, these files are not in /usr/lib but in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Therefore, the symbol links are invalid.
I suggest fixing this by placing the symbol links in the same directory as the target files. |
Impact
======
libgif-dev in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS depends on libgif4 and has these symlinks:
/usr/lib/libungif.a -> libgif.a
/usr/lib/libungif.so -> libgif.so.4.1.6
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgif.so -> libgif.so.4.1.6
/usr/lib/libungif.la -> libgif.la
libgif4 has these files:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgif.so.4.1.6
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgif.so.4 -> libgif.so.4.1.6
Only the 3rd symlink (the multiarch one) in libgif-dev is correct. The others are dangling.
This was caused by an obsolete debian/libgif-dev.links
Test Case
=========
Verify that libgif-dev only includes the one working symlink:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgif.so -> libgif.so.4.1.6
Regression Potential
====================
None, just removing some dangling symlinks that couldn't work any way.

Impact
======
Linking programs that need libungif ("-lungif") will fail.
Test Case
=========
apt-get install build-essential libgif-dev
cat >>test.c EOF
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
return 0;
}
EOF
gcc -lungif test.c
GCC will fail with "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lungif" on affected systems.

====================
None, just removing some dangling symlinks that couldn't work any way.
