Package: came Version: 1.9-1 Severity: grave Tags: patch Hi Ben,
The came package currently depends on libfreetype6, but it does not use it. This dependency is being pulled in via giblib-config --libs, which works as designed but is *not* a correct tool for getting a list of libs to link against on a GNU system using dynamic linking. Attached is a short patch which fixes the came package build to no longer link against spurious libraries. This patch changes the binary package dependencies from this: Depends: giblib1 (>> 1.2.4), libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libcurl3 (>= 7.12.2-1), libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.5-1), libimlib2, libx11-6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxext6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1) to this: Depends: giblib1 (>> 1.2.4), libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1), libcurl3 (>= 7.15.0-1), libimlib2 Although libfreetype6 is currently available in unstable, due to bug #314385 it is very likely that this package will have to go through a library transition in the near future. Since came doesn't use freetype, I'm filing this bug at "grave" severity pre-emptively, to encourage you to get your package free of the transition before it starts. Please fix this bug at your earliest convenience. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
