[Bug 1398028] [NEW] libgraphviz-dev: dangling symbolic links for missing files libgvplugin_gdk.so and libgvplugin_gtk.so

[J G Miller]

Public bug reported:

PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"
VERSION="14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr"

Package: libgraphviz-dev
Architecture: i386
Source: graphviz
Version: 2.36.0-0ubuntu3

In /usr/lib/graphviz, dangling symbolic links to non-existing files are
created.

0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  24    2014-02-20 14:11   libgvplugin_gdk.so -> libgvplugin_gdk.so.6.0.0
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  24    2014-02-20 14:11   libgvplugin_gtk.so -> libgvplugin_gtk.so.6.0.0

No package contains either  libgvplugin_gdk.so.6.0.0  or
libgvplugin_gtk.so.6.0.0: neither graphviz i386 architecture package nor
amd64 architecture package.

Perhaps these symbolic links are an unintended remnant from the
libgraphviz to graphviz transition.

If not, then libgvplugin_gdk.so.6.0.0 and libgvplugin_gtk.so.6.0.0
should be provided in the graphviz package.
