Hi folks,
The attached patch has just been applied to the Ubuntu yelp package, to null
out the dependency_libs field in the libtool .la files being shipped in the
-dev package. This is generally a good idea because it avoids causing
consumers of your library to require other .la files listed here to be
available at build time when they're not actually needed (i.e., in the
dynamic linking common case). It's specifically a good idea right now
because multiarch is imminent, and that means the .la files referenced here
are going to *move* soon, causing build failures for anything using libtool
to build against yelp. As long as yelp is going to need a rebuild to fix up
the invalid .la references, it would be nice to get rid of them altogether.
Thanks,

Yes, I did mean yelp, but it seems the presence of these .la files is part
of the delta between Debian and Ubuntu. Ubuntu has yelp 2.91.92, which
*does* include libraries, whereas 2.30.1 in Debian does not. Sorry for not
looking more closely before filing this bug - closing it now, as I guess
you'll deal with this issue when yelp 3.0 hits your radar.
