Package: libgrib2c-dev Version: 1.2.2-2+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I note that the description for package libgrib2c-dev states that the package contains the static libraries and headers needed to build applications against libgrib2. However, the package does not actually appear to contain the static library: see "dpkg -L " output below. I know that static libraries are a bit old-fashioned. But one of the reasons for installing libgrib2c-dev is to build the wgrib2 utility. (See http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/wesley/wgrib2 ) And the configure scripts for that utility expect static versions of all the libraries which it uses. I hope this report is useful Best wishes Hugh Pumphrey hcp@holly:~/wrk/R$ dpkg -L libgrib2c-dev /. /usr /usr/lib /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/libgrib2c-dev /usr/share/doc/libgrib2c-dev/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/libgrib2c-dev/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/libgrib2c-dev/copyright /usr/include /usr/include/grib2.h /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgrib2c.so hcp@holly:~/wrk/R$ -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libgrib2c-dev depends on: ii libgrib2c0d 1.2.2-2+b1 Versions of packages libgrib2c-dev recommends: ii pkg-config 0.26-1 libgrib2c-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
