Title:
libprotobuf-dev should include libprotobuf-lite.so symlink
Status in protobuf package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Later versions of libprotobuf-dev (10.10 onward) seem to include the
libprotobuf-lite.so symlink to the actual libprotobuf-lite.so
libraries (.5 or .7) provided by libprotobuf5/libprotobuf-lite7.
But the version for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid) is missing the
libprotobuf-lite.so symlink, even though it installs a .pc so that
pkg-config --libs protobuf-lite reports "-lprotobuf-lite".
This causes programs using libprotobuf-lite not to compile, even when
they use the options supplied by pkg-config.
libprotobuf-dev should either (a) include the symlink, or (b) if it's
not appropriate to link against libprotobuf-lite5, remove the pkg-
config entry.
