Package: libtool Version: 1.5.22-2 Severity: important It looks like libtool likes, when building libraries, to reorder arguments:

This leads to the usual horror that Debian's libtool is supposed to avoid: dependencies on tons of libraries we don't want to link with. In this particular case it makes the package having a really wrong dependency on libgamin, making it incompatible with fam, but that's only a consequence of not using --as-needed. All libraries seem to be affected, for example librsvg2-2, but binaries are not: when linking a binary, libtool doesn't do this reordering and the dependencies look fine. The control-center package is using the following version: VERSION="1.5.20 Debian 1.5.20-2" TIMESTAMP=" (1.1220.2.287 2005/08/31 18:54:15)" When relibtoolizing with the latest libtool in Debian, the result is the same. The following version (which was used for GNOME 2.10) isn't affected: VERSION=1.5.6 TIMESTAMP=" (1.1220.2.95 2004/04/11 05:50:42)" Regards, -- .''`.
