Package: libperl-dev Version: 5.12.3-7 Severity: minor The only supported way of linking against libperl.so that I'm aware of is to use ExtUtils::Embed::ldopts. This gives a list of other libraries too:
% perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts -Wl,-E -fstack-protector -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/perl/5.12/CORE -lperl -ldl -lm -lpthread -lc -lcrypt Linking against these other libraries isn't possible without libc6-dev (or its equivalent on the deviating architectures) installed. It therefore looks like libperl-dev should at least Recommend, probably Depend, on something like "libc6-dev | libc-dev". Obviously this is a no-op for Debian package builds as libc6-dev is already in the build-essential set, hence the low severity. -- Niko Tyni [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
