** Description changed:

- In Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on x86_64 I am experiencing the following bug in
- libgif-dev 4.1.6-11:
+ Impact
+ ======
+ libgif-dev in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS depends on libgif4 and has these symlinks:
+ /usr/lib/libungif.a -> libgif.a
+ /usr/lib/libungif.so -> libgif.so.4.1.6
+ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgif.so -> libgif.so.4.1.6
+ /usr/lib/libungif.la -> libgif.la
+ 
+ libgif4 has these files:
+ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgif.so.4.1.6
+ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgif.so.4 -> libgif.so.4.1.6
+ 
+ Only the 3rd symlink (the multiarch one) in libgif-dev is correct. The
+ others are dangling.
+ 
+ This was caused by an obsolete debian/libgif-dev.links
+ 
+ Test Case
+ =========
+ Verify that libgif-dev only includes the one working symlink:
+ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgif.so -> libgif.so.4.1.6
+ 
+ Regression Potential
+ ====================
+ None, just removing some dangling symlinks that couldn't work any way.
+ 
+ Original Bug Report
+ ===================
+ In Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on x86_64 I am experiencing the following bug in 
libgif-dev 4.1.6-11:
  
  Symbol links for libungif.a, libungif.la, and libungif.so are created in
  /usr/lib that point to libgif.a, libgif.la and libgif.so.4.1.6
  respectively. However, these files are not in /usr/lib but in
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Therefore, the symbol links are invalid.
  
  I suggest fixing this by placing the symbol links in the same directory
  as the target files.
