Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.4.1-2
Severity: wishlist
Fontconfig has a spurious dependency on libz emanating from
freetype-config. This (untested) patch should fix it. I have
also suggested that it be fixed in freetype-config.
For background on this issue, see http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib/
and the pages linked from there. This will only be a serious issue
if zlib makes a ABI change (though even a compatible ABI
change will raise the issue to some extent), so this is 'wishlist'.

Fontconfig no longer depends on libz. Closing this.
