Package: libfmt-dev Version: 7.1.3+ds1-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Recently I have moved from Debian buster to bullseye and have encountered an issue with the libfmt-dev package: one of my source-built programs failed to link due to missing libfmt.a static library. After doing some research, I found out that libfmt-dev from buster-backports expectedly ships the desired binary while bullseye and newer have only .so symlink bundled, hereby causing the breakage. Since linking to fmtlib dynamically is not desirable for my workflow, I want to ask you whether such breakage was intended and if not, could you please add .a library back to the package. Thanks! -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers impish-updates APT policy: (500, 'impish-updates'), (500, 'impish-security'), (500, 'impish'), (100, 'impish-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.13.0-44-generic (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_USER Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libfmt-dev depends on: ii libfmt7 7.1.3+ds1-5 libfmt-dev recommends no packages.
