[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#584505: libProjectCenter.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Marc J. Driftmeyer]

Package: projectcenter.app
Version: 0.5.3~20100601-1
Severity: normal


We have a couple behavior issues:

With projectcenter.app libs referenced under /usr/lib/projectcenter.app/ on Sid I get the following results with running from command line:

mdriftmeyer at horus:/usr/lib$ ProjectCenter
mdriftmeyer at horus:/usr/lib$ ProjectCenter: error while loading shared libraries: libProjectCenter.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It appears that ProjectCenter is looking for libProjectCenter.so.0 under /usr/lib/libProjectCenter.so.0

Making symlinks to this resolves this issue, but spawns a secondary issue that my setup cannot work around.

mdriftmeyer at horus:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s projectcenter.app/libProjectCenter.so libProjectCenter.so
mdriftmeyer at horus:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s projectcenter.app/libProjectCenter.so.0 libProjectCenter.so.0
mdriftmeyer at horus:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s projectcenter.app/libProjectCenter.so.0.6.0 libProjectCenter.so.0.6.0
mdriftmeyer at horus:/usr/lib$ ProjectCenter
ProjectCenter: error while loading shared libraries: libgnustep-base.so.1.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
mdriftmeyer at horus:/usr/lib$

My setup has not libgnustep-base.so.1.18 shared library so it will fail every time.

Do I need to purge and reinstall or do we have a problem here?
