Bug#469040: Cryptokit seems to miss zlib support

[Paolo Donadeo <p.donadeo@gmail.com>]

Package: libcryptokit-ocaml-dev
Version: 1.3-7+b1
Severity: important
 
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I recently updated my Debian box to OCaml 3.10.1. The Cryptokit library
stopped to work correctly, as it seems to be compiled without zlib
support. On my machine the following simple OCaml program compiles but
raises the Cryptokit.Compression_not_supported exception, while the previous
version of the package I used (1.3-7) was ok.
 
========================== 8< BEGIN HERE >8 ==========================
(*
 * Compile with:
 *   ocamlfind ocamlc -package cryptokit -linkpkg cryptokit_fail.ml \
 *      -o cryptokit_fail
 *)

let foo =
  try
    Cryptokit.Zlib.compress ()
  with
    | Cryptokit.Error Cryptokit.Compression_not_supported ->
        Printf.printf "Unsupported zlib?!?\n";
        exit(1);;
=========================== 8< END HERE >8 ===========================

This is my first Debian bugreport so, if something is missing, please be
patient: I will give you all the necessary information.


Best regards,


Paolo Donadeo
