I don't know if this is a bug or expected behavior, but it does trigger issues with other packages, such as out-of-tree modules for GNURadio: https://github.com/bastibl/gr-foo/issues/24#issuecomment-606925453 Those can be fixed with a simple symlink. If this is a problem with the build system of the other project (i.e., it should have picked up the so.0 file), my apologies and please close the issue. Thanks. System details: Description: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Release: 18.04 Version: liborc-0.4-0 Installed: 1:0.4.28-1 Summary: I expect there to be a .so file by the name of the library somewhere on the system after installing. There is not one, but instead, the name I expect with a .so.0 extension exists, but there is no symlink with the expected name.
