Package: libcurl3
Version: 7.15.5-1
Severity: normal
This is a recursive dependency disease issue.
libcomerr2 is not actually used by curl. It is only used indirectly by
a dependency of libcurl.
Libcurl should not be directly linked to it. It should also not be exported as
a dependency to the packages using libcurl. (Libcurl exports a lot of other
improper
dependencies via pkg-config, but fixing that requires doing something
different, and
I'm not exactly sure of the right thing to do yet.)
The following (untested) patch to configure.ac should fix both problems. You
have to
rerun autoconf, of course.
The only danger to watch out for is the possibility that the static build will
fail --
if the -dev package builds, then the patch is correct. I have been delayed in
my
attempts to test the build for irritating reasons, so I give you the patch now.
