Package: libfreetype6-dev
Version: 2.5.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I experience a problem with libfreetype6-dev in Debian testing in a
configure script.

A call of "freetype-config --libs", under Debian stable (with
libfreetype6-dev 2.4.9-1.1), return
"-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lfreetype -lz".

Since zlib is required in freetype's dependancies, if I install
freetype I am able to compile anything with those flags. This works as
expected.

A call of "freetype-config --libs" under debian jessy (with
libfreetype6-dev 2.5.1-1) gives however
"-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lfreetype -lz -lpng".

*But* libpng is not in dependencies of the package. I suppose this is a
bug, since it is not any more possible to compile with the flags given
by freetype-config.

From my point of view, freetype-config should not return -lpng, or
libfreetype6-dev should include libpng in its dependencies.

Best regards.
François
