[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 273558] Re: /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0 missing from Intrepid

[Ben Supnik]

I believe the OpenAL dependency was removed from the DVD installer with 
the 2.05 installer.  Unfortunately, this does nothing for already 
pressed DVDs, but then that's only fixable by maintaining binary 
compatibility at the distro level.  Users can download the latest DVD 
installer from the net and use it to unpack the contents of their older DVD.

Title:
  /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0 missing from Intrepid

Status in “openal-soft” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libopenal1
  Version: 1:1.3.253-4ubuntu1

  The libopenal1 binary package in Intrepid replaces the old libopenal0a
  binary package from Hardy, Gutsy etc. libopenal0a created
  /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0, but the new libopenal1 package does not (it
  creates /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 instead).

  This breaks some third-party binaries, eg X-Plane
  (http://www.x-plane.com/).

  Suggested fix:
  The libopenal1 binary package should create a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0 to /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1

  Alternative fix:
  Retain the old libopenal0a binary package in Intrepid, in addition to the new libopenal1 binary package. And change the libopenal1 package so that it does not replace libopenal0 or libopenal0a.
