Package: libldap-2.4-2
Version: 2.4.11-1+lenny1
Severity: normal

Hello,

The compilation of OpenLDAP produces these library files:
    libldap_r-2.4.so.2.5.4
    libldap_r-2.4.so.2 -> libldap_r-2.4.so.2.5.4
    libldap_r.so -> libldap_r-2.4.so.2.5.4
    libldap-2.4.so.2.5.4
    libldap-2.4.so.2 -> libldap-2.4.so.2.5.4
    libldap.so -> libldap-2.4.so.2.5.4

These files are reparted on the following binary packages:
    libldap-2.4-2: libldap_r-2.4.so.2 libldap_r-2.4.so.2.*.*
    libldap2-dev: libldap_r.so
In addition, the libraries without “_r” are created as symlinks to the “_r”
ones, on the corresponding packages.

I do not understand why libldap_r.so and libldap.so, that are symlinks to
libldap_r-2.4.so.2.5.4, are installed on libldap2-dev. This is the development
package, that contains headers, static libraries and manpages, so I do not see
why it should contain a dynamic library symlink that is rather a run-time file.

Maybe these libldap_r.so and libldap.so should be moved to libldap-2.4-2?

Regards,

No, they should not.  These are *not* runtime files, the unqualified library
names are only meant to be used at build time.
