Version: 1.3.9+dfsg-5
Severity: normal

Hi guys,

The attached patch has just been applied to the Ubuntu apr-util package, to
null out the dependency_libs field in the libtool .la files being shipped in
the -dev package.  This is generally a good idea because it avoids causing
consumers of your library to require other .la files listed here to be
available at build time when they're not actually needed (i.e., in the
dynamic linking common case).  It's specifically a good idea right now
because multiarch is imminent, and that means the .la files referenced here
are going to *move* soon, causing build failures for anything using libtool
to build against apr-util.  As long as apr-util is going to need a rebuild
to fix up the invalid .la references, it would be nice to get rid of them
altogether.

Thanks,

AFAICS this is already fixed in 1.3.10+dfsg-1. Please reopen if I have 
missed something.
