Bug#953099: lintian: FPOS for pkg-config-references-unknown-shared-library



Package: lintian
Version: 2.55.0

Hi,

in src:libxslt, I get this:

W: libxslt1-dev: pkg-config-references-unknown-shared-library usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libexslt.pc -lxml2 (line 12)
N:
N:    The specified pkg-config(1) file references a shared object via, for
N:    example, Libs: -lfoo but this package appears to not ship the associated
N:    "libfoo.so" shared library.
N:
N:    This will result in a linker error and was likely caused by a missing
N:    installation step.
N:
N:    Please ensure that your package ships the corresponding libfoo.so shared
N:    object file.
N:
N:    Refer to the pkg-config(1) manual page and
N:    https://bugs.debian.org/919180 for details.
N:
N:    Severity: normal, Certainty: possible
N:
N:    Check: shared-libs, Type: binary, udeb
N:
W: libxslt1-dev: pkg-config-references-unknown-shared-library usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libxslt.pc -lxml2 (line 12)

of course it doesn't '"hip the associated "libfoo.so" shared library'…
xml2 is clearly a direct dependency of libxslt1-dev, and 'libxml2.so' is
shipped by libxml2-dev which is a direct dependency of libxslt1-dev, as
well as being installed while this lintian was running.
