libOpenVG.so.1 missing in /usr/lib/*-linux-*/

[Sergio Benjamim]

Hi, it seems libOpenVG.so.1 is missing in /usr/lib/*-linux-*/, there is only the libOpenVG.so. I had trouble with this symlink:

dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library libOpenVG.so.1 needed by debian/retroarch/usr/bin/retroarch (ELF format: 'elf32-littlearm-hfabi'; RPATH: '')
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/retroarch/usr/bin/retroarch was not linked against libEGL.so.1 (it uses none of the library's symbols)

I created the symlink for *.so.1, it worked for me.

In ARMhf package there isn't /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libOpenVG.so ...

I had to:

cd /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/mesa-egl/
sudo ln -f -r -s libOpenVG.so.1 ../
