There is no point in adding further breakage and inconsistencies before we know it things are supposed to work. cf. also with #341977 > Requires.private corresponds to Requires, i.e. it contains references to > required pkg-config files (with optional versions, ...) but the LIBS of > them will only be used for static linking. > > Libs.private is the same for Libs, i.e. it contains linker flags > (-lfoobar -L/usr/include/blingblong) that will only be used for static > linking. > > If something is in Requires.private -dev packages _must_ depend on it, > if it's in Libs.private -dev packages only need to depend on it if they > ship static libraries (AFAIK). AFAIUI that is not necessary and only packages that link statically against libavcodec and libavformat would break. If I understand you correctly, that happens also for packages that link dynamically to libavcodec/libavformat. Is that correct? If yes, then this seems to a manifestation of #475031. If that is correct, then this bug is a dupe AFAIUI. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
