Package: libkpathsea4-dev Severity: important Version: 2007-9 Tags: patch Hi TeXlive maintainers,
libkpathsea4-dev currently ships a .la file which specifies /buildd library paths. This causes FTBFS of reverse dependencies, such as [1] (Debian packages will fail in a similar manner). Pleasea just drop the .la file. They are unnecessary on GNU and generally evil because they just force unnecessary extra dependencies on -dev packages. Thank you!
