Bug#308571: libgtk2.0-dev: package is missing static libraries

Wed, 11 May 2005 00:08:23 -0700 (PDT)

Package: libgtk2.0-dev
Version: 2.6.4-2
Severity: normal

While updating to libgtk2.0-dev 2.6.4-2, I noticed that the size of the
package dropped rather severely. Investigating further, it appears that all
of the static libraries have been removed from the package, leaving only the
header files and the .so symlinks. I don't use the static libraries myself,
but there was no mention in the changelog about removing them, so I must ask:
are the static libraries supposed to be in there?

cheers,
 -Brian
