Package: libtag-dev Version: 2.0.2-2 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi! The libtag-dev has a run-time dependency on dpkg-dev, because its taglib-config.cmake has been patched to use dpkg-architecture to fetch the DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH variable. Given that this is a -dev package, the run-time dependency on dpkg-dev (which pulls in the entire build-essential is less of an issue), but I still think the current reason for the dependency is problematic. The patch that changes taglib-config.cmake describes that it is making the file arch-independent, but the file is getting installed in an multiarch qualified pathname anyway. Then the dpkg-architecture call can end up producing an unexpected result in a cross-building situation when cmake finds it for an arch but that file might end up referencing another libdir (because dpkg-architecture will honor the already set environment variables). If the problem was that cmake was getting the wrong libdir to substitute in the build, then perhaps that should be looked at instead, but I'd assume debhelper is nowadays passing the correct options. Thanks, Guillem
