Package: libfreetype6-dev
Version: 2.0.5-2
libfreetype6-dev installs its headers in /usr/include/freetype2.
libttf-dev installs in /usr/include.
If programs use -I/usr/include/freetype2 and #include <freetype/something.h>,
they can end up picking up parts of freetype1 and parts of freetype2.
There is an example of this in bug#123565 in xpdf.
In #123565, Andrew Suffield suggests that freetype2's headers could
be modified to #include <freetype2/freetype/blah> rather than
<freetype/blah>, which is when it picks up freetype1 stuff.
Alternatively, libfreetype6-dev should conflict with libttf-dev.
I resolved the problem in xpdf by build-conflicting with libttf-dev.
thanks,
Hamish

I don't agree with Andrew's conclusion in bug #123565 that libfreetype6-dev
should conflict with libttf-dev. The headers coexist fine on the
filesystem, the real bug is that xpdf was using -I/usr/include in its build
flags - that's never necessary, and was the direct cause of the xpdf build
failure.
So no conflict should be added here; closing the bug.
