[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#973723: libcharls-dev ships libcharls.so which is also in libdcmtk-dev

[DCMTK Team]

Dear Mathieu,

Yes, I agree that it would make sense to rename the DCMTK specific version of libcharls
to avoid naming conflicts with a system-wide charls installation.

Thank you for the patch. We will rename the library to "dcmtkcharls"
(instead of "dcmcharls", as your patch suggests) to make the naming
consistent with the renamed OpenSSL libraries we use on Windows,
but otherwise I will commit your patch so that the naming conflict
will be gone in the upcoming DCMTK 3.6.6 release.


Best regards,
Dr. Marco Eichelberg
