Package: libxcb-randr0-dev Version: 1.11.1-1 Severity: normal The pkg-config file for xcb-randr contains
Requires: xcb xcb-render which in turn results in $ pkg-config --libs xcb-randr -lxcb-randr -lxcb-render -lxcb Applications using xcb-randr don't need to link against xcb-render unless they're using some of xcb-render's symbols; the fact that xcb-randr itself uses xcb-render internally is irrelevant to the application, and in fact 1) dpkg-shlibdeps will raise a warning about this during package build 2) passing --as-needed to the linker will strip the direct dependency on xcb-render from the binary Some of xcb-randr's functions use types defined by xcb-render as arguments, but that again doesn't create a requirement for the application to link against xcb-render, it just means it will have to include the appropriate headers. The pkg-config file should be changed to look like Requires: xcb Requires.private: xcb-render Well, xcb should be moved to Requires.private as well, and the same should be done for all xcb-* pkg-config files. But applications linking against any of the xcb-* libraries are pretty much guaranteed to link agains xcb as well, so it's not as critical. But it should still be done :) -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libxcb-randr0-dev depends on: ii libxcb-randr0 1.11.1-1 ii libxcb-render0-dev 1.11.1-1 ii libxcb1-dev 1.11.1-1 libxcb-randr0-dev recommends no packages. libxcb-randr0-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Andrea Bolognani <e...@kiyuko.org> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
