retitle 204358 xlibs: [libX11] attempts to dlopen() libXcursor.so, not libXcursor.so.1 reassign 204358 xlibs tag 204358 + upstream experimental thanks
This is not a bug in the xcursor packages. libxcursor1 should *not* ship a /usr/lib/libxcursor.so; that's the responsibility of the libxcursor-dev package (see Debian Policy, sections 8.1 and 8.4). At the same time, though, people should not be required to install libxcursor-dev to get themed cursors to work. I also think shipping symlinks from /usr/X11R6/lib to /usr/lib is unnecessary. The right place to fix this, in my opinion, is in xlibs. I have prepared a patch to improve libX11's search for an Xcursor library. -- G.
