[wl2776 <wl2776@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've did some research and have found the following.

Packaging of libmlt++ is incorrect. 
File /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2 is listed somewhere in the package contents, but it is not included in the package. 
File /usr/lib/libmlt++.so is included only in the -dev package (libmlt++-dev).

Here is the output of several comands on my system - Karmik with all
updates

$ apt-file search libmlt++

libmlt++-dev: /usr/share/doc/libmlt++-dev/changelog.Debian.gz                                                    
libmlt++-dev: /usr/share/doc/libmlt++-dev/changelog.gz

libmlt++2: /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.0.4.4                                                                            
libmlt++2: /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2                                                                                
libmlt++2: /usr/share/doc/libmlt++2/changelog.Debian.gz                                                          
libmlt++2: /usr/share/doc/libmlt++2/changelog.gz                                                                 
libmlt++2: /usr/share/doc/libmlt++2/copyright     

$ aptitude show libmlt++2
Package: libmlt++2                        
State: installed      

However, my system doesn't contain a file  /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2

$ locate libmlt++.so.2
$ 


$ dpkg -L libmlt++2
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libmlt++2
/usr/share/doc/libmlt++2/copyright
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/libmlt++.so.0.4.10
/usr/share/doc/libmlt++2/NEWS.gz
/usr/share/doc/libmlt++2/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/libmlt++2/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/libmlt++2/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/libmlt++2/README
/usr/lib/libmlt++.so.3

$ apt-file search /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2
libmlt++2: /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2


I think, libmlt++ should be repackaged to include libmlt++.so, and libmlt++.so.2. Probably, these should be symbolic links to the actual .so file (libmlt++.so.0.4.10).
