I guess there is only one case where the current "fix" would help. If someone had some library providing libungif in a different place, the broken symlinks in /usr/lib might take precedence, thus hiding the correct files.
In my opinion, removing the dangling symlinks is a slight improvement on the current situation and the risk of breaking something is very low. On the hand, I do not know whethere there are other considerations regarding a SRU in addition to the potential for regressions (which is low in this case). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1337898 Title: Invalid symlinks for libungif.so and libungif.a To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/giflib/+bug/1337898/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
