Bug#676495: libatlas3-base: slave alternative for liblapack.so.3gf broken

[Sébastien Villemot]

Package: libatlas3-base
Version: 3.8.4-4
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading to version 3.8.4-4 of the package, I get errors such as:

 octave: error while loading shared libraries: liblapack.so.3gf: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The slave alternative to liblapack.so.3gf is not correctly created in
libatlas3-base.postinst, and this actually destroys the slave symlink. A patch
is attached.

Thanks,
