I guess you mean that lyx can use enchant without explicitly depending on above libraries, enchant itself seems to heavily rely on glib-2.0. I am not familiar with pkg-config and friends. Should something like Requires.private help here? Or is better Libs.private as you suggest? PS: I am not enchant maintainer, just have it under my radar because I uploaded last QA. enchant itself is orphaned.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. While enchant itself relies on glib, the API it exposes doesn't require glib. So programs like lyx, which uses the enchant API but not glib, doesn't need to link directly with glib. This reduces the number of dependencies for lyx, which makes various transitions (ABI, testing) easier. > I am not familiar with pkg-config and friends. Should something like > Requires.private help here? Or is better Libs.private as you suggest? Yes, Requires.private would help. Not Libs.private, of course, sorry. So, what I'm suggesting is to move glib and gmodule to a Requires.private line. -- Pelle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-packages-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have prepared a quilt patch with that change and committed it to enchant collab-maint git repo git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/enchant.git together with a lintian fix for an unrelated issue. I am cc'ing Bastien ROUCARIES, who has shown interest in the package in case he has some other changes ready to go or something else to add. If Bastien does not upload himself, I will prepare a new QA upload with these changes. If no further problems appear we shoud also file a bug report at upstream bug tracker.
