Public bug reported:
"apt build-dep exim4-daemon-heavy" is supposed to install all packages needed
for building exim4-daemon-heavy, but it omits libnsl-dev, resulting in
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnsl
steps to reproduce:
sudo apt purge libnsl-dev;
sudo apt install dpkg-dev;
sudo apt build-dep exim4-daemon-heavy;
sudo apt-get source exim4-daemon-heavy;
FOLDER_NAME=$(find /tmp/exim4_builddir -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "exim4-*" |
head -n 1);
cd "$FOLDER_NAME";
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us --jobs=$(nproc);
results in the "cannot find -lnsl" error.
