obconf doesn't work after installation- edgy 6.10

[Lukas Zronek]

Binary package hint: obconf

the configuration utility for openbox prints following warning messages:

obconf: error while loading shared libraries: libobrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
obconf: error while loading shared libraries: libobparser.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

obconf expects libobrender.so.1 and libobparser.so.1 in /usr/lib but they don't exist.

workaround:
creat symbolic links

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/librender.so.0 /usr/lib/librender.so.1

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/liparser.so.0 /usr/lib/libparser.so.1

[Lukas Zronek (lukas-z)]

correction:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libobrender.so.0 /usr/lib/libobrender.so.1

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/liobparser.so.0 /usr/lib/libobparser.so.1

If you rebuild the package and compile it against the edgy openbox, the problem disappears. However some signal handlers for the gui are not found, others seem to work just fine. I didn't change anything in the rules... Strange..
