thanks
I'm running a derivative distribution called raspbian to provide a
hardfloat distribution for the Pi and one of our users asked for this
package so I went looking for a soloution to make it build.
And I've found one but it's kinda ugly, it would require a trip through
new and given how long this package has been out of testing I doubt the
release team would consider it for debian wheezy. Still I thought I
would document my soloution and provide the patches here in case users
or maintainers of other derivatives find them useful.
The problem is that libgeotiff-dev contains both a static library and a
shared library symlink. Shared libraries have inbuilt soname based
dependencies but static ones do not. So the libgeotiff-dev package needs
to have a dependency on libtiff5-dev to provide for users who are using
the static library.
My soloution was to create a libgeotiff5-alt-dev package, this package
provides the headers and shared library symlink but NOT the static
library. As such it does not need to depend on libtiff5-dev and can be
installed alongside packages that depend on libtiff4-dev.
I then modified xastir to depend on libgeotiff5-alt-dev instead of
libgeotiff5-dev.
debdiffs are attatched.
