Package: libglide3
Version: 2002.04.10ds1-7
Severity: important

Hi,

libglide3 ships several dangling symlinks:
  /usr/lib/libglide.so.3 -> libglide3.so.3
  /usr/lib/libglide3.so -> libglide3.so.3
  /usr/lib/libglide3x.so -> libglide3.so.3
To make them working, postinst configure creates /usr/lib/libglide3.so.3
But between unpacking libglide3 and configuring it other packages may
have been (unpacked and) configured. If these included library packages,
they very likely have called ldconfig at least once inbetween ... and
that has cleaned up the dangling /usr/lib/libglide.so.3 symlink (the
dangling *.so links are untouched).

Reinstalling libglide3 would likely bring that link back. But the risk
is there that it will disappear on upgrades, too, because the prerm
deletes /usr/lib/libglide3.so.3 unconditionally, giving ldconfig a
chance to "clean up".

libglide.so.3 is not the SONAME of the library - so maybe that link is
not needed at all?

Andreas
