I don't know all the styles well, but I was using tcsh at the time and needed to use find /sw/lib -name '*.la' | xargs grep -l libhowl instead. It turned out to be libgoffice-0.6 (also maintained by me). The deps for libgoffice had already been converted to avahi types, so I was at a loss to figure out how libgoffice was trying to drag in libhowl. I first tried rebuilding libgoffice-0.6 without any of the howl variants installed. That worked. I was worried that it might be building differently despite the deps calling for avahi and friends. So I installed libhowl-dev, -bin, and -shlibs; and rebuilt libgoffice-0.6 again. Still no howl reference in the *.la's. So now I'm attributing the original failure (linking of howl elements) to some strange effect in my pre-merge pangocairo tree. No one else building gnucash2 has complained about this (only x11 or inconsistent dependencies). And libgoffice-0.6 didn't exist in the wild until after the merge back, so everyone had to build a new deb very recently anyway. My testing suggests all the new builds work correctly. As an aside, when I looked over the weekend, in stable the base package libhowl is version 1.0.0-14 with splitoffs -bin, -dev, and -shlibs. In unstable, the base package is libhowl-dev version 1.0.0-17 with splitoffs -bin and -shlibs. Is there any chance the slight package layout change caused any problems?
