Title:
Invalid symlinks for libungif.so and libungif.a
Status in giflib package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in giflib source package in Trusty:
Fix Committed
Status in giflib package in Debian:

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.
