Bug#189059: libg2c0: no libg2c.so symlink

[Vincent McIntyre <Vincent.McIntyre@atnf.csiro.au>]

Package: libg2c0
Version: 1:3.2.3-0pre5
Severity: normal

Hi,
we are trying to build a large software suite with gcc-3.2.
The linker cannot link in libg2c when we give just -llibg2c.
This is resolved by placing a symlink:
  cd /usr/lib; ln -s libg2c.so.0 libg2c.so

It's unclear to me if this is a packaging violation or not, from
http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html
it seems like the libg2c.so link should be provided by libg2c0-dev,
or libg2c, neither of which appear to exist.

The simplest resolution seems to be to make libg2c0-dev.
