liblockdev1 shared library symlink missing?
Package: liblockdev1-dev
Version: 1.0.0
Severity: normal
(Debian-mentors: this turns out to be a bug in liblockdev1-dev,
it seems.)
It doesn't create the symlink that other shared-library
-dev packages create; if I do the following, my problem
(described in the quoted message below) goes away:
/usr/lib# ln -s /lib/liblockdev.so.1 liblockdev.so
Please let me know if I've misconstrued the problem. THanks.
