Package: libpng12-dev
Version: 1.2.54-2
Severity: grave
The fix for bug #766809 broke linking with -lpng12 on at least amd64. I
noticed the problem when libkate failed to build in
<URL:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libkate&arch=amd64&ver=0.4.1-6&stamp=1455665747
>.
The cause is a dangling symlink after the symlink from
/usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/libpng12.so.0 was removed:
% ls -lh /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 16 13:33 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng.a ->
libpng12.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Feb 16 13:33 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng.so ->
libpng12.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 238K Feb 16 13:33 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 16 13:33 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so
-> libpng12.so.0
%
Setting the severity to grave as this break the library completely.
