Package: libxmlrpc-c0-dev
Version: 0.9.9-3
Severity: seriuos

I set severity to seriuos, as all packages should depend on the
packages they need to work.

I'm trying to get an xmlrpc client working using libxmlrpc-c0-dev, but
ran into link problems.  My link stage reports messages like this:

  /usr/lib/libxmlrpc_client.so: undefined reference to `HTChunk_delete'

After some investigation, I discovered that I'm supposed to link with
lost of libwww* libraries, but these are not installed on my machine.
I found this surprising, as I would expect libxmlrpc-c0-dev to depend
on the libraries needed by the included libraries.

I next tried to build one of the example programs, only to discover
that the linking failed due to missing libraries:

  % cc -o synch_client /usr/share/doc/libxmlrpc-c0-dev/examples/synch_client.c\
     `xmlrpc-c-config libwww-client --libs`
  /usr/bin/ld: kan ikke finde -lwwwzip
  collect2: ld returnerede afslutningskoden 1
  %

I suspect the correct fix is to add a dependency from libxmlrpc-c0-dev
to 'libwww-dev | libwww-ssl-dev', but am not sure.
