Is there a reason you include the .la file? From my experience it being
needed for anything suggests severe borkage, and the Policy concurs:
# [...] these files normally should not be included in the Debian package,
# since the information they include is not necessary to link with the
# shared library on Debian and can add unnecessary additional dependencies
# to other programs or libraries.
It then says:
# If the ".la" must be included, it should be included in the
# development ("-dev") package, unless the library will be loaded by
# "libtool"’s "libltdl" library. If it is intended for use with
# "libltdl", the ".la" files must go in the run-time library package.
libxbase64-bin is neither.
Meow!
