[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#561299: custom build creates empty /etc/ld.so.conf.d/atlas.conf

[Adrian Benson]

Subject: custom build creates empty /etc/ld.so.conf.d/atlas.conf
Package: atlas
Version: 3.8.3
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Severity: critical

-- System Information:
Debian Release: squeeze/sid
  APT prefers testing
  APT policy: (500, 'testing')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

I am backporting latest atlas to testing.
Build completes without error, however install creates an
empty /etc/ld.so.conf.d/atlas.conf. Atlas is then not in linker cache
and all dependent packages fail.

Manually inserting appropriate path plus running ldconfig
resolves issues.
Since no package explicitly owns /etc/ld.so.conf.d/atlas.conf i am
guessing this is an install script bug.
