clang-3.6 package does not install symlink

Asked by AdmiralJonB

I'm a little uncertain as to whether this is a bug, or intended behaviour of the package. (Using Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (Kubuntu))

When I installed clang-3.6, it appears to (for some reason) conflict with the clang package from llvm-defaults, and had to remove clang and clang-3.4 to get 3.6 installed.

Afterwards, /usr/bin/clang and /usr/bin/clang++ no longer exist. Is this because the overarching 'clang' package handles the creation of these symlinks? Or is this a bug with clang-3.6?

I can obviously create my own symlink, but we have many people on different machines, and I'm keen to upgrade to 3.6 as it appears to solve an actual bug I had with clang-3.4 that caused the compiler to crash. I'd prefer not to have to ask them to create the symlinks themselves.

Thanks
