Bug#463399: apr-1-config --libs returns spurious libs

[Damyan Ivanov <dmn@debian.org>]

Package: libapr1-dev
Version: 1.2.11-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

While investigating the following warning from dpkg-shlibdeps in
libapache2-mod-perl2:

  debian/libapache2-mod-perl2/usr/lib/perl5/auto/APR/APR.so shouldn't be
  linked with libuuid.so.1 (it uses none of its symbols).
  ...
  same for librt.so.1 libcrypt.so.1 libpthread.so.0 libdl.so.2

I've found that the extra library linkage comes from apr-1-config:

  $ apr-1-config --link-ld --libs
   -L/usr/lib -lapr-1 -luuid -lrt -lcrypt  -lpthread -ldl

The only library that APR.so really needs is libapr-1


Please consider omitting "-luuid -lrt -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl" from the
output.


Thanks,
    dam
