Nope. The check you mention is in the false branch of an AC_CHECK_FUNC([daemon], ...), so isn't run because we detect glibc's version first. The actual reason is: $ pkg-config --libs libedit -ledit -lncurses -lbsd Maybe -lbsd should be moved to Libs.private? But I don't know the libedit interface in detail, and in any case this is up to the libedit maintainers, so reassigning. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
