This is quite odd, as the libgraphicsmagick1-dev Depends line more or less duplicates the source package's Build-Depends. Might be stray dependencies that get picked up if the respective packages happen to be installed at build time. The patch you sent in certainly isn't wrong, but it's not the full story, either. The respective packages ought to be added to Build-Depends as well, at least. I'll investigate. > (The drawtiming package, on which this bug was filed, actually runs > GraphicsMagick++-config, but that's just a wrapper for GraphicsMagick-config, > so I'm filing this against the C library rather than the C++ one.) GraphicsMagick-config (just like Magick-config) historically cannot distinguish between shared and static linkage. Hence the overly long --libs line, and consequently the many Depends (rather than Recommends or Suggests) in the -dev package. Therefore, I'd advise against using the legacy GraphicsMagick-config, and prefer pkg-config instead, which has this problem fixed. Wesley, if possible, please switch from GraphicsMagick-config to pkg-config in the drawtiming package. This will not only avoid graphicsmagick bug #486985, but also give you a much shorter Depends line. Thanks, Daniel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
