Bug#817988: libc6-dev: libm.so no longer a symlink in 2.22-2 ; break dlopen() in mpi4py
Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.22-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 8.4
/usr/lib/$ARCH/libm.so is no longer a symlink in 2.22-2, thus breaking packages
which try to use it.
In particular, mpi4py dynamically links libm.so leading an FTBFS #817884
>>> from mpi4py import dl
>>> libm='libm.so'
>>> handle = dl.dlopen(libm, dl.RTLD_LOCAL|dl.RTLD_LAZY)
>>> dl.dlerror()
'/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so: invalid ELF header'
