Bug#781341: libllvm-ocaml-dev: Broken symlink: /usr/lib/ocaml/METAS/META.llvm -> META.llvm-3.x

[Emmanuel Fleury]

Package: libllvm-ocaml-dev
Version: 1:3.6-27~exp1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

While trying to build (./configure && make && make install) an OCaml
software against the LLVM binding, I got the following error:

    $> ./configure
    Fatal error: exception Sys_error("/usr/lib/ocaml/METAS/META.llvm: No
    such file or directory")

I noticed that the symlink exist but point to nothing (broken link):

    $ ll /usr/lib/ocaml/METAS/META.llvm
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar  5 10:05 /usr/lib/ocaml/METAS/META.llvm
-> META.llvm-3.6

This is the same for llvm-3.5 (in 'unstable'). Here, I tried to move
to 'experimental' to check if the problem was solved upstream.

The package is totally useless without the file 'META.llvm-3.x'.
So, that's why I scored the severity to 'important'.
