Source: vlc
Version: 2.0.0-5
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS

Hi Benjamin and others,

as you know I have been spending countless hours trying to get vlc to
build on kfreebsd to unfuck some transitions. I was finally getting at a
working patch (part of it *from upstream*), while you uploaded the
(upstream) patch with another change which basically reverts its effect.
(Hint: --as-needed)

You'll find attached the patch I prepared and which has been tested both
on kfreebsd and on linux.


(On a personal note, next time, please don't blame me for:
 - your failure to attribute the patch to its actual author;
 - your failure to wait for the patch I said I was polishing, and
   actually testing on a porter box;
 - your basically reverting the patch through an extra link flag.

I realize I'm probably sounding angry. But that's the current state of
affairs.)

Mraw,
KiBi.
