Package: libcurlpp-dev Version: 0.8.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
Packages depending on a specific version get an error when requiring package
version *using autotools*. For e.g., this:
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([CURLPP], [curlpp >= 0.8.1])
Using CMake seems to work okay though. Version number in resulting pkg-config
file is empty. Indeed, I have checked upstream and it appears that it's their
fault. Their output file from calling `cmake` doesn't produce a version number
in the curlpp.pc file. I think that's the explanation. This bug will be reported
upstream.
While waiting for upstream fix, could you upload a new version with the
appropriate version number by applying a patch to curlpp.pc? I think that should
fix the problem.
Also, it may be possible upstream doesn't support autotools regarding this~[1].
In any case, I think the debian package should make sure packages using
autotools can require a version of this lib in an appropriate manner. What do
you think?
