Public bug reported:

After installing graphviz 2.36.0-0ubuntu1 in Trusty, I can no longer
generate any PNG images with the 'dot' tool. The reason for this is that
the package scripts do not configure the installed graphviz plugins:

To reproduce:
----

$ dot -Tpng my_file.dot > my_file.png
There is no layout engine support for "dot"
Perhaps "dot -c" needs to be run (with installer's privileges) to register the 
plugins?


$ sudo dot -c
[sudo] password for thomi: 


$ dot -Tpng my_file.dot > my_file.png
# works now.


I think the 'sudo dot -c' step ought to be done as part of the package 
installation scripts.
