Summary:                    libgamin_dev creates broken symlink for libfam.so
Description: 
After installing libgamin_dev I got the following files:

% grep libfam /var/sadm/install/contents
/opt/csw/lib/libfam.so=libfam.so.0.0.0 s none CSWlibgamin-dev
/opt/csw/lib/sparcv9/libfam.so=libfam.so.0.0.0 s none CSWlibgamin-dev

Note, that there are two symlinks -- but not the files they are pointing
at. The libfam.so.0.0.0 does not exist neither in /opt/csw/lib nor in
/opt/csw/lib/sparcv9

Perhaps, the symlink should point at libgamin.so?

I believe to know, that there is software out there which checks for
existence libfam (can't recall which one though). Further, according to
https://people.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/differences.html, libfam from
gamin is binary compatible to the SGI fam implementation.

So, even tough, SGI libfam is legacy, I would pull in gamin libfam in
libgamin-dev.

Opinions?
