Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.10.10 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
As the number of packages using libtool and pkg-config increases, a problem related to them seems to become more common: library -dev packages often lack dependencies on the -dev packages of libraries they need to link correctly. As a consequence, packages which build depend on them need to artificially build depend on those as well, or they fail to autobuild. I think a tool which generates these dependencies from .la and .pc files (and others I forget?) would be very valuable. This bug might be more appropriate for debhelper, but I thought I'd submit it here for a start. Feel free to reassign. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+tm/7WoGvjmrbsgARAiDrAJ9byhdEfw+3kUttUAKYA9ryNFQe1QCglIZd Hcsx2RuiFOdSbkz89ObJC2A= =+k6O -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
