Hi Matthias,
The attached patch has just been applied to the Ubuntu packagekit package,
to null out the dependency_libs field in the libtool .la file being shipped
in the -dev packages. 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 packagekit. As long as packagekit is going to need a
rebuild to fix up the invalid .la references, it would be nice to get rid of
them altogether.
Thanks,
