[Robie Basak]

Hello J, or anyone else affected,

Accepted graphviz into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/graphviz/2.36.0-0ubuntu3.2 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  libgraphviz-dev: dangling symbolic links for missing files
  libgvplugin_gdk.so and libgvplugin_gtk.so

Status in graphviz package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in graphviz source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed
Status in graphviz source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in graphviz package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Impact
  ======
  libgraphviz-dev has dangling symlinks.

  Test Case
  =========
  Verify that libgraphviz-dev depends on libgvc6-plugin-gtk and that
  libgvplugin_gdk.so.6.0.0 and libgvplugin_gtk.so.6.0.0 exist in libgvc6-plugin-gtk.

  Regression Potential
  ====================
  None. This simply installs one file that had been built but not installed (the GDK plugin) and adds a missing dependency from libgraphviz-dev to the graphviz GTK plugin library built in the same package.

  Other Info
  ==========
  These bugs were fixed in Debian's graphviz 2.38.0-13 and -14 and fixed in yakkety.

  Original Bug Report
  ===================

  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.
