Tellico FTBS, libkcal.la references libXft.la which does not exist anymore

[Regis Boudin <regis@boudin.name>]

Package: kdepim
Version: 3.5.0-5
Severity: grave

Hi,

Trying to build a snapshot of tellico, it FTBS because of a
missing /usr/lib/libXft.la file. I tried to rebuild the latest version
of tellico with pbuilder, which also failed with the same error.

All the .la files from the kdepim dev packages
reference /usr/lib/libXft.la, if the build was done with libxft-dev <<
2.1.8. However, the file was removed last week with xft 2.1.8.2-1,
making the packages linking against any of the kdepim libs FTBFS, hence
the grave severity.
i386 if affected, but some arches are not, such as i64.

I tried rebuilding kdepim and installing the generated packages, and I
could successfully build tellico.

I am not sure if the solution is to rebuild kdepim with the new xft, or
include libXft.la back, so I CC the xft maintainer, but something needs
to be done.
