Bug#2396: svgalib1-1.28-3 library configuration pb
Package: svgalib1
Version: 1.28-3
Dear Richard Kettlewell (richard@uk.geeks.org),
your svgalib1 package doesn't make proper installation.
There is no libvga.so.1 symlink in /usr/lib, thus programs from svgalib1-bin
package don't work :-(
When I looked into postinst script to patch your package to do proper
installation on my system, I found another bug (I think).
You wrote:
mv -f /usr/lib/libvga.so.1.2.8.new /usr/lib/libvga.so.1.2.8
mv -f /usr/lib/libvgagl.so.1.2.8.new /usr/lib/libvga.so.1.2.8
In fact, the last line moves libvgagl...new to libvga instead of libvgagl.
^^ ^^
I suggest you correct the previous typo and add two lines to your postinst
script to build symlinks, like this :
ln -fs libvga.so.1.2.8 /usr/lib/libvga.so.1
ln -fs libvgagl.so.1.2.8 /usr/lib/libvgagl.so.1
Yours, sincerely
