[Bug 284325] Re: libpng3 symlink points to the wrong directory

[Marc Deslauriers]

Because lucid never got this fix.

Someone needs to create a debdiff for lucid, and it can be fixed as a
SRU.

Title:
  libpng3 symlink points to the wrong directory

Status in “libpng” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “libpng” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libpng12-0

  I've just installed the drivers for my Canon Pixma MP160 printer-
  scanner from the Canon website.  The drivers are in .rpm format, which
  I converted to .deb with Alien.

  When I ran the scanner program, it failed, citing a missing library.
  I fixed the problem by creating a symlink from /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 to
  /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.27.0.  The program now works perfectly.

  The libpng12-2 package already installs a symlink from
  /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 to /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.27.0.  It would be
  good if the symlink that I created could be in that package by default
  too.  Then other Canon users won't have the same problem.

  Unless this would create a conflict with some other program, I think
  it should be implemented in Intrepid before the end of the month.  I'm
  pretty sure that I used these same drivers on Hardy without tweaking,
  so I suppose that the symlink must have been removed from the Intrepid
  version.  (I haven't checked.)
