Package: libenchant-dev Version: 1.6.0-6 Severity: minor When I build lyx, dpkg-shlibdeps complains about it unnecessarily linking against libgmodule, libglib, and librt.
It turns out that lyx depends on these libraries because it uses enchant. Indeed: $ pkg-config --libs enchant -pthread -lenchant -lgmodule-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 It appears that enchant can be used without explicitly depending on the extra libraries. Please consider moving them to Libs.private in enchant.pc. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libenchant-dev depends on: ii libenchant1c2a 1.6.0-6 ii libglib2.0-dev 2.30.2-4 libenchant-dev recommends no packages. libenchant-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-packages-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
