[Bug 1515159] [NEW] libfl.so contains text instead of ELF code

[Alexander Steffen]

Public bug reported:

All variants of the package libfl-dev (from precise to xenial, for both
amd64 and i386) available from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ contain a
broken libfl.so or libfl.so.2.0.0. The file does not contain ELF code,
but readable text (a GNU ld script according to the text). Trying to use
a binary that relies on this shared library then obviously fails with
"error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/libfl.so.2: invalid ELF header".

** Affects: flex (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
