Hi, Recently a bug was opened in the Debian. The issue is that the 7.20.1 broke some of the other packages which used curl-config --libs. I would like to get some comments from the curl developers and how to resolve this problem. The bug report is shown below.

This is breaking at least collectd (see #578819) and claws-mail-extra-plugins. Raising the severity to prevent accidental testing transition until the maintainer comments. -- Niko Tyni [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
