IMO that is an upstream bug and should be fixed there. I know that in at least one gnome package, those errors were introduced on purpose as to fix the as-needed linking. Upstream said this solution was way easier than a proper once, had to do with the buildsystem (automake) not being smart enough. Often I leave it to upstream to fix bugs (partly due to not a developer + lack of knowledge).. but sometimes that just means I committed the fix upstream :P (for string formatting errors or translation errors) -- Regards, Olav
