Uploaded, thanks! I made the following minor changes:
1. I ran update-maintainer. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField 2. I adjusted the package version string to 4.1.6-11ubuntu0.14.04.1 because 4.1.6-11 also exists in Vivid. Though that's EOL on desktop, it lives on phone at the moment (and so does appear on Launchpad's summary page for the package). I don't want to make it awkward to update giflib on Vivid for the phone side. Though it seems unlikely and it probably doesn't use that package, at least this way we're consistent. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update_the_packaging. Convention is to use a "-p1" patch, which is what debdiffs produce. Please try to do this when submitting patches, since it makes sponsoring a little easier. Now awaiting SRU team review. ** Changed in: giflib (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: Triaged => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to giflib in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1337898 Title: Invalid symlinks for libungif.so and libungif.a Status in giflib package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in giflib source package in Trusty: In Progress Bug description: Impact ====== Linking programs that need libungif ("-lungif") will fail. Test Case ========= apt-get install build-essential libgif-dev cat >>test.c EOF int main(int argc, char **argv) { return 0; } EOF gcc -lungif test.c GCC will fail with "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lungif" on affected systems. Regression Potential ==================== None, just removing some dangling symlinks that couldn't work any way. Original Bug Report =================== In Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on x86_64 I am experiencing the following bug in libgif-dev 4.1.6-11: Symbol links for libungif.a, libungif.la, and libungif.so are created in /usr/lib that point to libgif.a, libgif.la and libgif.so.4.1.6 respectively. However, these files are not in /usr/lib but in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Therefore, the symbol links are invalid. I suggest fixing this by placing the symbol links in the same directory as the target files.
