[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#648105: libheimdal-dev does not satisfy dependencies of cups-config --libs

[Michael Biebl]

Package: libcups2-dev
Version: 1.5.0-10
Severity: serious

Hi,

libcups2-dev does not provide pkg-config .pc file to get the linker and
build flags, but instead ships a tool called cups-config.

gtk+3 uses
cups-config --cflags and cups-config --libs
in its configure script.
cups-config --libs outputs:

-lcups -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -g -O2 -fstack-protector
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security
-Werror=format-security -Wall -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0
-I/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include -DDBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE
-lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lgnutls -L/lib/i386-linux-gnu
-lgcrypt -lz -lpthread -lm -lcrypt

While I think it's kinda strange that --libs exports stuff like -Wall
and -I include paths (and --cflags is empty!), the real problem is, that
the above linker commands can not be satisfied by libheimdal-dev and
libcups2-dev depends on libkrb5-dev | libheimdal-dev.

This lead to the exp. buildds picking up libheimdal-dev and a failing
build, as one can see at [1].


Cheers,
Michael
