Bug#836073: root-plugin-math-minuit2: missing symlink for ROOT librariesroot-plugin-math-minuit2: missing symlink for ROOT libraries

[Danny van Dyk]

Package: root-plugin-math-minuit2
Version: 5.34.19+dfsg-1.2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When installing root-plugin-math-minuit2, I noticed a problem when linking
against libMinuit2.so.
Using LIBDIR=$(root-config --libdir), you are pointed to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu, which contains a symlink

   libMinuit2.so.5.34 -> root5.34/libMinuit2.so.5.34

Linking with 'g++ -lMinuit2 -L$(LIBDIR) [...]' then fails, since $(LIBDIR)
does
not contain the libMinuit2.so.

Please add symlinks 'libMinuit2.so -> libMinuit2.so.5', and
'libMinuit2.so.5 -> libMinuit2.so.5.34', as is usual for shared objects.

One should probably audit all ROOT packages against this bug.

(This was first discovered on Ubuntu, see Ubuntu Bug #1180808).

Yours faithfully,
Danny van Dyk
