Package: libflickcurl-dev
Version: 1.26-1.1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy ยง8.4
Tags: patch
Control: block 850840 by -1
Raptor 1.x has not had an upstream release in 6 years and is superseded by
Raptor 2.x. flickcurl is one of two packages for which the migration to
Raptor 2.x was not complete, which is blocking Raptor 1.x from being
removed from the next stable release (see #850840).
Emilio Pozuelo Monfort has indicated that non-intrusive changes to fix
this would be given a freeze exception. I believe the necessary change
in this case is trivial: replace libraptor1-dev in the -dev package's
Depends by libraptor2-dev.
This dependency mistake also means that installing libflickcurl-dev is not
sufficient to link a trivial program to libflickcurl with pkg-config,
which is why I'm filing this as serious:
(sid-amd64)~/tmp% cat > noop.c
int main(void) {return 0;}
(sid-amd64)~/tmp% gcc noop.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs flickcurl`
Package raptor2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `raptor2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'raptor2', required by 'flickcurl', not found
I don't know how to smoke-test this package, so I would appreciate an
upload by a maintainer. However, I'd be happy to arrange the request
for a freeze exception if that would help.
Regards,
S
