Bug#682189: gmsh: unversioned .so in libgmsh2; wrong or missing dependencies

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Source: gmsh
Version: 2.6.0.dfsg-3
Severity: serious

libgmsh2 contains both the versioned libgmsh.so.2 and the unversioned
libgmsh.so that should be in the development package (otherwise multiple
library versions will not be installable in parallel, see Policy 7.9.1).

Also why does libgmsh-dev not have a dependency on the library itself?

The dependencies for the new packages seems to be copied from the gmsh
package.  I am not sure why gmsh-doc has ${shlibs:Depends} (it is
arch:all) nor why it depends on mpi-default-bin or specific python
versions.
