Package: guile-1.6
Version: 1.6.7-1.1
Followup-For: Bug #224591

See also 224591.

guile-config is in the guile-1.6 package.  But this program is used in
development of programs using guile.  I'm trying to compile gnome-games
(from CVS) and I have guile-1.6 but not libguile-dev installed.  So
gnome-games sees that guile-config is present and uses it to determine the
CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to compile the program with.  But this doesn't work of
course since the development package isn't installed.

Once I install the development package, I get another problem:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lguile-ltdl

-lguile-ltdl is given by the LDFLAGS by guile-config.  There is a .so for
this file present but no .la.  So something is wrong in the packaging here
if the config program tells you to use a library that doesn't work...

I think these are the same bug: guile-config should be provided by the
development package not the library package.
