Sqlite3 libs (libtclsqlite3.so) missing after installing on Debian

I installed the libsqlite3-tcl package ("aptitude install
libsqlite3-tcl") Debian squeeze, but no libtclsqlite3.so file was
created.

I looked for:

/usr/lib/tcltk/sqlite3/libtclsqlite3.so
/usr/lib/tclsqlite3.so

I did a:

$ locate libtclsqlite3.so
$ find /usr/lib/ -iname tclsqlite3.\*so
$ objdump --syms tclsqlite3.so
objdump: 'tclsqlite3.so': No such file

I also checked to see if the library was statically linked:

$ ldd /usr/bin/tclsh8.5
linux-vdso.so.1
libtcl8.5.so.0
libdl.so.2
libpthread.so.0
libm.so.6
libc.so.6
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

The /usr/share/doc/libsqlite3-tcl/README file says to untar and
compile. That is not a proper process for a debian package. The
tarballs referenced in README do not seem to exist either.

You have several options:

1. Compile it yourself
2. Install the ActiveState Tcl distribution:
http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads
3. Download the package directly from Activestate:
http://teapot.activestate.com/entity/name/sqlite3/index
Pick your version,follow the links, click on "Package Archive", unzip "file.zip" into directory where your Tcl packages are installed (/usr/local/lib/tclsh8.6 etc)

According to the Debian package listing[1], you should look in
/usr/lib/sqlite3

That will be the README from the original package, probably, since it's
not called README.Debian

Thank you!

Found it in /usr/lib/sqlite3/libtclsqlite3.so.
