[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#815378: libxmlbird has incorrect soname or incorrect package name

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: libxmlbird1
Version: 1.2.4-1
Followup-For: Bug #815378

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Upgrading libxmlbird1 from 1.2.0-1 to 1.2.4-1

$ birdfont -h
birdfont: error while loading shared libraries: libxmlbird.so.1.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

the locate command's cache from before the upgrade had:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxmlbird.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxmlbird.so.1.3

but after the upgrade the 1.3 name disappeared:

ls -al /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxmlbird*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 93432 Oct 10 04:13 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxmlbird.so.1


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
