Package: libxml2-dev Version: 2.8.0+dfsg1-5 Severity: normal $ xml2-config --libs -L/usr/lib -lxml2
But the library is in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu (or similar). Both of these are in the default linker path, so it might ordinarily not make much of a difference, but it's still wrong. I could imagine if you do some kind of foreign build, adding -L/usr/lib to the linker command line could be a problem. Perhaps the use of xml2-config is not tenable in a multi-arch environment and pkg-config is preferable, but then a note in the man page (or removing the binary) might be appropriate. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
