Bug#956564: liquidsoap libraries are not installed in the right place
Package: liquidsoap
Version: 1.4.1-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
The liquidsoap packages comes with several libraries as .liq files, called "pervasive script libraries".
The Debian package for liquidsoap installs these libraries to /usr/share/liquidsoap/libs/,
but liquidsoap doesn't look for these libraries there. This can be seen when one runs `liquidsoap --help`:
```
--no-pervasives
Do not load pervasives script libraries (i.e.,
/usr/share/liquidsoap/1.4.1/libs/*.liq).
```
It looks for those libraries in a different folder, based on the version of liquidsoap installed.
This means the default setup of the Debian package will not allow basic liquidsoap functions like
`mksafe` to be used without manually copying or symlinking the library folder.
Personally, my quick solution was:
```
sudo mkdir /usr/share/liquidsoap/1.4.1
sudo ln -s /usr/share/liquidsoap/libs /usr/share/liquidsoap/1.4.1/
```
Thank you!
