The error says "-dev package contains non-symlink .so".

Simply adding a symlink somewhere will not help. The fix is to ensure
that libcannelloni-common.so gets packaged in the main run-time
package (and not in the -dev package).

Reading the section about non-versioned shared libraries here might help:
