Subject: nbdkit: unused build dependencies, or missing pkg-config build dependency

Date: Sun, 06 Oct 2013 19:31:16 +0200

Source: nbdkit
Version: 1.1.2-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

it seems nbdkit has plugins requiring different libraries, which are
added as build dependencies:
  libvirt-dev zlib1g-dev liblzma-dev libguestfs-dev
however, given that pkg-config is used to look for them and that
pkg-config is not a build dependency, all of these libraries are not
detected (and thus the extra plugins not built).

I guess it could be the case to either
a) remove these extra build dependencies, since they are not used when
   building within the Debian infrastructure
b) add the pkg-config build dependency, to make use of them and compile
   the extra plugins

Of course it is not a big issue, but certainly confusing to require
libraries which are actually not used at all.

Thanks,
-- 
Pino

I will add pkg-config to the build-dependencies for the next upload.

Thank you for spotting this!
