Bug#1102909: apr: depend on libcrypt-dev explicitly
Source: apr
Version: 1.7.5-1
Tags: patch
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: libcrypt-pkgconf
Control: affects -1 + src:lua-svn
apr uses libxcrypt during build, but it also exposes this header to its
downstreams by including -lcrypt in its pkgconf .pc file. There is an
effort[1] to drop libcrypt-dev from the build-essential package set.
This will not happen during the trixie freeze, but some months into the
forky cycle. Once dropped, apr and reverse dependencies of libapr1-dev
will fail to build from source. I'm attaching a patch to make these
dependencies explicit. It is safe for inclusion into trixie, but it does
not warrant an upload of its own at this time of the freeze.
