This bug has been introduced by an NMU on exaile to solve bug #555244. I think the way this exaile bug has been solved is a bit strange: instead of removing the embedded prototype.js script and create a link towards libjs-prototype package, it creates a link towards the file: /usr/share/pixelpost/templates/horizon/scripts/lib/prototype.js This file is obviously contained in the pixelpost package. In fact, this file is a link towards the libjs-prototype package! As a conclusion, to solve this bug and to solve correctly bug #555244, exaile should contain a link to porototype.js from libjs-prototype package.
