Package: libgnutls13 Version: 1.4.4-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch gnutls appears to have an unnecessary dependency on libgpg-error; gnutls does not appear to use anything from libgpg-error directly. With this dependency eliminated, it should no longer be necessary to rebuild gnutls if libgpg-error changes ABI.
See http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib/ for background and further information. I believe this (untested) patch should do the trick; the dependency is dragged in by the ill-behaved libgcrypt-config. (It may in fact be dragged in by something else too, but this is a start.) It will be necessary to rerun aclocal and autoconf after changing this. And possibly other autotools. And of course ship the changed configure.in. --- m4/libgcrypt.m4 2004-07-28 06:28:48.000000000 -0400 +++ m4/libgcrypt.m4.new 2007-01-01 21:01:00.000000000 -0500 @@ -96,7 +96,7 @@ fi if test $ok = yes; then LIBGCRYPT_CFLAGS=`$LIBGCRYPT_CONFIG --cflags` - LIBGCRYPT_LIBS=`$LIBGCRYPT_CONFIG --libs` + LIBGCRYPT_LIBS="-lgcrypt" ifelse([$2], , :, [$2]) else LIBGCRYPT_CFLAGS="" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
