Bug Description
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"
VERSION="14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
For both architecture i386 and architecture amd64 version packages of libgif-dev
Package: libgif-dev
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <email address hidden>
Source: giflib
Version: 4.1.6-11
dangling symlinks are created in /usr/lib
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2013-12-16 07:24 /usr/lib/libungif.a -> libgif.a
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2013-12-16 07:24 /usr/lib/
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2013-12-16 07:24 /usr/lib/
No package contains libgif.la. but both libgif.a and libgif.so.4.1.6 are located in /usr/lib/
Please correct the libgif-dev install script to point these symbolic links to the file in the correct directory, and either supply libgif.la if appropriate in the libgif4 package or do not create the symbolic link to libgif.la.

status: | Confirmed → Fix Released |
Please move this bug from package graphviz to libgif4.
Launchpad is deficient in not asking which package to file a bug against, if a bug has just been reported on a package, and continues to append bug reports to the same package..
