Which packages fail to build? The only reverse dependency of libgphoto2-2-dev in Debian is libsane-dev which appears to build without errors: http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=sane-backends Setting bugs to serious or higher needs detailed reasons so that the bug can be fixed in a sane manner. This seems more like an error in the pkgconfig file for libgphoto2. The source package already build-depends on libltdl3-dev. It might be true that libgphoto2.pc should specify -ltdl3 in Requires: or in Requires.private: but that is not a "serious" severity. For the benefit of the bug report, what I *think* this report is trying to achieve is to have libtdl3-dev brought in when building against libgphoto2-2-dev and, to me, this appears to be an upstream issue in the pkgconfig file and (to a lesser degree) the Depends: line for libgphoto2-2-dev in debian/control. Yes, it is a good idea for packages to fix the pkgconfig data and to ensure that extra dependencies are handled, necessary dependencies are retained etc.etc. but I don't see how that can be RC severity for Lenny. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
