Package: cl-gd Version: 0.4.2-3 Severity: grave Tags: patch Hi Peter,
The cl-gd package currently depends on libfreetype6, but it doesn't use it. This dependency is being pulled in because you're using a custom linker line in debian/rules that pulls in libraries that aren't used in your code. Since the only lib used by your library is libgd, I've attached a patch which discards all of the other libs from the line, uses gcc instead of ld for linking (strongly recommended upstream unless you know there's a specific reason to bypass gcc's logic here), and adds -Wl,-zdefs as an extra safeguard to ensure that no other libraries are missing. The patch changes the binary package dependencies from this: Depends: common-lisp-controller (>= 4.2), cl-uffi (>= 1.3.4), libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1), libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.5-1), libgd2-xpm (>= 2.0.33), libjpeg62, libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.8rel), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1) to this: Depends: common-lisp-controller (>= 4.23), cl-uffi (>= 1.3.4), libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1), libgd2-xpm (>= 2.0.33) with, indeed, no loss of functionality AFAICT. Although libfreetype6 is currently available in unstable, due to bug #314385 it is very likely that this package will have to go through a library transition in the near future. Since cl-gd doesn't use freetype, I'm filing this bug at "grave" severity pre-emptively, to encourage you to get your package free of the transition before it starts. Please fix this bug at your earliest convenience. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
