Bug#607000: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev: /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la is not shipped in the package

[Jérôme Guelfucci]

Package: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev
Version: 2.22.1-3
Severity: normal


When I try to compile from source package using gdkpixbuf, it fails
saying:

bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la' is not a valid libtool archive

This file is indeed not shipped in the -dev package. I googled this and
found an Ubuntu bug report stating that there is the same problem in
that distribution (LP #665768). The bug report in LP has a proposed
patch which adds the la files to the .install file.

If this file should be provided by the package, it would be great to have this fixed to make the -dev package usable.

Thanks in advance,

Jérôme Guelfucci
