Package: xmlrpc-c
Version: 1.06.21-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Usertags: libwww
Hi,
Due to the fact that it's pretty much unmaintained, we're working on
removing libwww from the archive. xmlrpc-c is one of the packages that
build-depend on it, and needing to be sorted. As there is already
support for libcurl, all is needed is to get rid of the libwww-dev
build-dep, libwww0 dependency and make sure libwww support is not built.
The attached patch does all this and might be enough, though you might
want to make libxmlrpc-c3-dev depend on libcurl4-openssl-dev.
Thanks for your help,
Regis
