Public bug reported:
libmilter1 and libmilter-dev put their libs in /usr/lib/libmilter but only
libmilter.so.1 in /usr/lib.
(notice the ".1")
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libmilter*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46412 2007-06-02 11:54 /usr/lib/libmilter.so.1
/usr/lib/libmilter:
total 304
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 69140 2007-06-02 11:54 libmilter.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2007-06-14 23:46 libmilter.so -> libmilter.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2007-06-14 23:46 libmilter.so.1 ->
../libmilter.so.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 209080 2007-06-02 11:54 libsm.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19584 2007-06-02 11:54 libsmutil.a
most of the tools needing this lib fail at configure time because when
they try to link this lib, they expect to have /usr/lib/libmilter.so
(missing symlink), not /usr/lib/libmilter/libmilter.so (unless passed
another argument to configure but in many cases, it's not possible as
--with-libfoo=/foo gives /foo/{include,lib} so here, /usr/lib/libmilter/
will look for /usr/lib/libmilter/lib/libmilter.so which does not exist.
Workarounds: create the missing symlink in /usr/lib
or, don't use /usr/lib/libmilter/ but put everything in /usr/lib instead.
