Ref: [https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/1502](https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/1502)

The $PYTHONSITEDIR/lldb/_lldb.so file is a symlink to $LIBDIR/liblldb.so, but
the .so file is usually not included in regular packages, only development
ones. That makes the symlink broken.

Fedora workaround:
[https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/lldb/blob/master/f/lldb.spec#_94](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/lldb/blob/master/f/lldb.spec#_94)
OpenSUSE workaround:

line 896
Clear Linux workaround:

I'm going to close this based on comment #4. If you do encounter this in the
future (with a new lldb), feel free to file a new bug.
