** Description changed:

+ [SRU Request for Precise Pangolin]
+ 
+ [IMPACT]
+ 
  When I try to run the photoprint program I get this:
  $ photoprint
  photoprint: error while loading shared libraries: libgutenprint.so.2: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory
  
  Though libgutenprint2 package is installed:
  $ dpkg --get-selections | grep gutenprint
- cupsys-driver-gutenprint                        install
- foomatic-db-gutenprint                          install
- ijsgutenprint                                   install
  libgutenprint2                                  install
+ 
+ This is due to an error in the gutenprint buildsystem that introduced a
+ new soname, but the Ubuntu package maintainer forgot to update the
+ packaging and request a rebuild of all it's rdepends. This has since
+ been corrected (see
+ http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gutenprint/news/20120709T224733Z.html)
+ and the fixed upstream version is in Quantal and later - as it turns
+ out, the soname was wrongfully bumped.
+ 
+ For Precise, the easiest solution would be a rebuild of photoprint to
+ pick up the new soname.
+ 
+ [TEST CASE]
+ 
+ 1. Install photoprint in Ubuntu Precise
+ 2. Start photoprint
+ 3. Observe error message: error while loading shared libraries: 
libgutenprint.so.2
+ 
+ 4. Rebuild and install the rebuilt photoprint
+ 5. Observe photoprint starting as normal
+ 
+ [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
+ 
+ Slim to none, photoprint has no reverse dependencies.
