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
