Package: expect-dev
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The expect-dev package does not ship with the libexpect shared library,
which makes the package unusable:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/libexpect*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 May 14 22:10 /usr/lib/libexpect.so -> 
libexpect5.43.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 220846 Mar 13 01:28 /usr/lib/libexpect5.43.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 May 14 22:10 /usr/lib/libexpect5.43.so -> 
libexpect5.43.so

(note how libexpect5.43.so is symlinked to itself.)

$ cat x.c
char Exp_Init();

int main ()
{
return Exp_Init ();
}
$  gcc -lexpect x.c
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lexpect
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

expect-dev version 5.43.0-2.

Cheers!

Eloy.-
