In bug #386652 you removed the .la file of neon. This shows a
misunderstunding about what .la files are.
We know what .la files are. They are internal metadata maintained and
used by libtool, that everyone _except_ libtool shouldn't need to care
about. Talking about a .la file when you aren't libtool is a layering
violation of sorts.
And why do you think that neon installs it by default? Please, read the
documentation, e.g.:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html#Installing-libraries .
Please, restore that file, as the package is currently borken. I need
to work with a custom made neon package now =(.
I'd suggest becoming accustomed to using either 'pkg-config --libs
neon' or 'neon-config --libs', rather than 'neon-config --la-file'.
Referring directly to a .la file outside libtool is not useful in
Debian, if indeed it is useful anywhere.
You are wrong. These .la files are used to provide libtool programs
using the library information both at runtime (in case of dlopen) and
when building (version info, dependencies, etc.). If you are in doubt,
go to /usr/lib and do an ls *.la.
Please, put it back where it was.
