Bug Description

The openbox package doesn't include libobrender.so.1 despite the file list on packages.ubuntu.com. I downloaded openbox_3.3-2_i386.deb manually and checked it, but the so file is not included.
libobparser.so.1 is missing too.

same problem exists on amd64 edgy.
there are files in in my /usr/lib/ called libobrender.so.0.4.0 and libobparser.so.0.4.0 whick acc. to dpkg -S are installed by openbox package.
these files are needed by obconf utility.

if you make symlinks called libob*****.so.1 to these *****.0.4.0 files everything works.
so basically 2 symlinks are not being made by the package.

I can confirm this issue in Edgy at i386:

oem@scenic:~$ obconf
obconf: error while loading shared libraries: libobrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

oem@scenic:~$ ldd /usr/bin/obconf | grep found
        libobrender.so.1 => not found
        libobparser.so.1 => not found

On my system the symlinks were called

libobrender.so.0
libobparser.so.0

After changing them obconf works.

This seems to be a packaging bug that has been corrected in Edgy. Openbox itself does not need these libraries and they are not included.

On the other hand obconf does not work because of this, that is reported as bug #62346.

Changed in openbox:
