Package: libcups2-dev Version: 1.6.4-2 Severity: minor cups-config --libs outputs (even when --static is not specified) a list of linker flags that is much longer than necessary.
Apart from passing on extra unnecessary flags to users of cups-config, this has the consequence of libcups2-dev ending up with dependencies on (among others) libkrb5-dev. libkrb5-dev conflicts with some other packages (most notably heimdal-dev), making it impossible to have heimdal-dev and libcups2-dev installed together. The attached patch should fix cups-config. I would also report this bug upstream, but unfortunately upstream's bugtracker seems to be down. :-( -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 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 libcups2-dev depends on: ii libcups2 1.6.4-2 ii libgnutls-dev 2.12.23-8 ii libkrb5-dev 1.12~alpha1+dfsg-1 libcups2-dev recommends no packages. libcups2-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
