Bug#893934: openssh-client: Potentially unintended dependency on libbsd
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:7.6p1-4
Severity: normal
Hi!
I just noticed that the latest version of this package depends on
libbsd0, which at first thought it was nice given my previous bug
request :), but then realized it was probably unintended when I
checked the actual sources. Here's the reasons why:
* Build-Depends on libedit-dev, which pulls in libbsd-dev.
* configure.ac uses AC_CHECK_LIB instead of AC_SEARCH_LIBS to
check for daemon(), which detects daemon() from glibc and
concludes that libsd is needed.
Thanks,
Guillem
