[Pkg-gnutls-maint] Bug#375816: libopencdk8-dev: opencdk-config --libs shouldn't contain -lgcrypt -lgpg-error -lz

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: libopencdk8-dev
Version: 0.5.7-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

There are spurious dependencies in the output of opencdk-config --libs:

-L/usr/lib -lopencdk -lgcrypt -lgpg-error -lz

-lgcrypt -lgpg-error -lz are _not_ needed in --libs (since the opencdk
_interface_ doesn't need functions from these libraries) and just bring
unneeded dependencies. They should be used only for linking
libopencdk.so itself, and put in opencdk-config --libs --static (for
static linking).
