This is usually due to GTK+ and friends using Requires instead of Requires.private in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc: http://bugs.debian.org/456335 This causes applications using GTK+ to link to more libraries than is nessecary. I don't think this problem will be solved any time soon, I suggest ignoring it. A workaround is to add -Wl,--as-needed to LDFLAGS, Gentoo has a document about that here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml Please note that using --as-needed can cause other (worse) problems. If you want to push for this to be fixed the right way, talk to the GTK+ maintainers in Debian and upstream. http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gtk+2.0.html -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
