Is there a good reason why libtag-c-dev has to be a separate package? Merging it into libtag-dev would avoid such hassle.
A stopgap workaround has been implemented in taglib 2.0.2-2, although I agree with you that we may no longer should split between libtag-dev and libtag-c-dev. See details below. The C development files and C++ development files were put into separate packages from the very beginning because no CMake Config files were provided back then, and theses packages provide individual pkg-config files which was reasonable and self-contained. Now in the era of taglib 2.x, upstream is starting to provide the CMake config files, which is often preferred compared to the pkg-config ecosystem. However, the cmake config files integrate both the C and C++ parts, makes them unable to be separated anymore. That is the origin of this bug report. Should we just eliminate libtag-c-dev now? Or do it after next Stable release? Or ask upstream to disintegrate cmake files? I think that could be an open question. Anyway at least for now with taglib/2.0.2-2 this bug is not causing FTBFS.
