Bug#519359: mmpong-gl: Failed to load module 'libCEGUIDevILImageCodec.so' / missing dependency on libcegui-mk2-dev

[Steve Cotton]

Package: mmpong-gl
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5 (Dependencies)

While I don't like logging this bug on this package, it seems a
good idea to have the discussion tracked on the BTS; and to have
it show up in apt-listbugs when people install mmpong-gl.

mmpong-gl runtime-depends on the dev package libcegui-mk2-dev:
  ii  libcegui-mk2-1                                                 0.6.1-1                                                        Crazy Eddie's GUI (libraries)
  pn  libcegui-mk2-dev                                               <none>                                                         (no description available)
  steve at localhost:~$ mmpong-gl 
  CEGUI::GenericException in file CEGUIDynamicModule.cpp(99) : DynamicModule::DynamicModule - Failed to load module 'libCEGUIDevILImageCodec.so': libCEGUIDevILImageCodec.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  terminate called after throwing an instance of 'CEGUI::GenericException'
  Aborted

Which is caused by a bug in libcegui:
#425983 Looks for development symlinks of optional libraries
Package: cegui-mk2


Package "smc" also uses that library; and in response to the
first of these two added a dependency on the -dev package.
#423498 Fails to load libCEGUIDevILImageCodec.so
#454679 smc: binary package should not depend on *-dev packages
