 swig provides:
  /usr/lib/libswigguile.so
  /usr/lib/libswigguilescm.so
 which are symlinks to 
 lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root25 2005-02-09 02:15 /usr/lib/libswigguilescm.so -

You've got a point here. The -dev package for swig is the main swig
package but it might be a good idea to pull in the runtime packages as
well so the symlink is always satisfied.

1.3.24 removed the runtime thought so this problem with just disappear
with it.

 I don't know the severity of this problem (maybe no program use
 those librairies, there seems to have been no other report about
 that). Anyway i would prefer the new version being upload before
 this i refrain from being pedantic (this new fix real bugs, maybe
 even this one).

The .so files are needed during building programs depending on those
libraries. So basically if you install swig and build guile plugins
building will fail because of this bug.

Thanks for reporting

Torsten

Bug#295327: swig: lib symlink broken , missing dependency ?

[browaeys . alban]

Package: swig
Version: 1.3.22-6
Severity: normal

Hi

ldconfig -v gives me a few errors:
ldconfig: Cannot stat /usr/lib/libswigguile.so: No such file or directory
ldconfig: Cannot stat /usr/lib/libswigguilescm.so: No such file or directory
ldconfig: Cannot stat /usr/lib/libswigchicken.so: No such file or directory



swig provides:
 /usr/lib/libswigguile.so
 /usr/lib/libswigguilescm.so
which are symlinks to 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root25 2005-02-09 02:15 /usr/lib/libswigguilescm.so - 
libswigguilescm-1.3.22.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root22 2005-02-09 02:15 /usr/lib/libswigguile.so - 
libswigguile-1.3.22.so


libswigguilescm-1.3.22.so and libswigguilescm-1.3.22.so are provided by 
libswig1.3.22-guile but swig does not even suggest it.
the same to happen for libswigchicken1.3.22 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 24 2005-02-09 02:15 /usr/lib/libswigchicken.so - 
libswigchicken-1.3.22.so

It seems to me those .so should go in the -dev packages, though i
have not yet fully understand the debian manage that (a lot of
packages still link against .so instead of .so.version ...).

I don't know the severity of this problem (maybe no program use
those librairies, there seems to have been no other report about
that). Anyway i would prefer the new version being upload before
this i refrain from being pedantic (this new fix real bugs, maybe
even this one).

Alban
