I'll summarise my opinion stated on IRC: As libgdal1-dev packages ships gdal-config, and the SONAME for the library is libgdal1.4.0.so.1, I believe the Debian package gets things right. People are supposed to use gdal-config to get the linking option, instead of hard-coding "-lgdal".
I also believe the Debian changelog is talking about the package name (for build-depends usage) instead of library file name (for linking usage), and is therefore irrelevant here. So I still think this bug is invalid. I'll leave the bug status alone, of course. -- libgdal.so symlink is missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159871 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
