libapt-pkg shlib detection error

[Mitch Blevins <mblevin@debian.org>]

I have had to manually add the dependency to apt 0.3.0 to
gnome apt because of the following:

[bash]$ dpkg-shlibdeps `which gnome-apt`
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared library libapt-pkg (soname 2.0, path /usr/lib/libapt-pkg.so.2.0, dependency field Depends)

Methinks it has something to do with this:

[bash]$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/apt.shlibs
libapt-pkg 2 apt

[bash]$ ldd `which gnome-apt` |grep libapt-pkg
libapt-pkg.so.2.0 => /usr/lib/libapt-pkg.so.2.0 (0x4037c000)

The way I understand dpkg-shlibdeps, it is looking for a line like:

libapt-pkg 2.0 <packagename>

in /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.shlibs, and is not finding it.
Is this an apt bug?
