Subject: libevent-dev: event.h does not include <sys/types.h> but depends on it.
Package: libevent-dev
Version: 1.3e-3
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Consider the following program:

  #include <event.h>

  int
  main (int argc, char *argv[])
  {
    return 0;
  }

Compiling this yields:

gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" 
-DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"foobar\" 
-DVERSION=\"2.7.0\" -DHAVE_LIBEVENT=1 -I. -I../../src     -g -O2 -MT 
main.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/main.Tpo -c -o main.o ../../src/main.c

The problem is that event.h uses u_char, which is defined in 
<sys/types.h>, however, event.h does not include the appropriate header 
file.  Including <sys/types.h> fixes the problem.

Fixed in 1.4.1-beta, the first Debian upload including the fix probably
