Description

I am installing Proton from PPA

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:qpid/testing && sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt install -y libqpid-proton-proactor1-dev python3-qpid-proton

I run Dispatch compilation, but I get error

-- Found Proton: optimized;/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libqpid-proton.so;debug;/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libqpid-proton.so (found version "0.33.0")

(notice that the .so mentioned in this cmake output does not actually exist in the package, there it is named with extra .10 at the end.)

To workaround this, I have to do

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libqpid-proton-core.so.10 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libqpid-proton-core.so

and then the build succeeds.
