Public bug reported:

Ubuntu version
 lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release:        16.04

gpsim version
gpsim - the GNUPIC simulator
version: Release 0.29.0

Problem
After installing gpsim with ~$sudo apt-get install gpsim if you try to launch 
it will crash this way:
~$ gpsim
gpsim: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkextra-x11-3.0.so.7: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

Workaround
This seems to be due to this link:
~$ cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
~$ ls -l libgtkextra-x11*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     28 gen  8  2016 libgtkextra-x11-3.0.so -> 
libgtkextra-x11-3.0.so.8.0.0

As we can bypass it just making a new link this way:
~$ cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
~$ sudo ln -s libgtkextra-x11-3.0.so.8 libgtkextra-x11-3.0.so.7

Hope you can easily repair this useful package
