Package: libexpat1-dev Version: 2.2.3-1 Severity: normal Hello,
dasher currently FTBFS on hurd-i386 (and probably will on kfreebsd-any too), e.g. https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=dasher&arch=hurd-i386&ver=5.0.0~beta~repack-3&stamp=1509289873&raw=0 because on hurd-i386, /usr/lib/i386-gnu/libexpatw.la contains dependency_libs=' -lbsd', but libexpat1-dev does not depend on libbsd-dev to bring libbsd.so in. I'd say that libexpat1-dev should just not expose -lbsd, since users of libexpat don't actually need to link against libbsd directly, it will get pulled automatically at runtime. Actually, the Debian policy recommends against shipping .la files at all, so perhaps it could just be removed altogether.
