But I don't see that anyone has taken the initiative to correct that test case, and the bug is still marked verification-failed. I'm therefore removing this package from trusty-proposed, after 4 months with no further activity. ** Changed in: giflib (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: Fix Committed => Won't Fix -- 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: Won't Fix Status in giflib package in Debian: Fix Released 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.
