[Bug 155784] Re: [gutsy] /usr/lib/libssl.so missing

[Cesare Tirabassi]

What is required by the linux convention, and I must also add by the debian standard, is that the library package shall contain the library file itself, usually called libfoo.so.X.X.X, and its symlink libfoo.so.X which matches the SONAME.
In the case of non-well behaved libraries, like ssl, the SONAME matches the library name:

cesare at norsetto:~$ objdump -p /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 | grep SONAME
  SONAME      libssl.so.0.9.8

At our level, we can't add a symlink like libssl.so.0 simply because
this will break ABI compatibility.
