Bug#556898: libgtk2.0-dev: Improper directory order in /usr/include

[Martin H. Thomas]

Package: libgtk2.0-dev
Version: 2.18.3-1
Severity: normal


The package in question puts all headers into subdirectories of
/usr/include/gtk-2.0. When I now #include <gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h> gtk.h
tries to include alle its sub-headers with <gtk/...>, which  as a matter
of course fails. In order to get the compiler to run properly I'll have 
to circumvent its conundrum by moving gtk.h and gdk.h to /usr/include/gtk-2.0 
and create symlinks on /usr/include directing any request to the aforementioned 
subdirectories - which goes astray from the debian policy and will have to be repeated
with every package upgrade, unless the package maintainers find a solution.
