Bug#696515: libxml++2.6-dev: Include files seem to be bollixed up.

[Robert T. Short]

Package: libxml++2.6-dev
Version: 2.34.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   I installed libxml++2.6-dev to experiment.  The header files are in
   a directory /usr/include/libxml++-2.6/libxml++/*.h, but the nested
   header in this directory refer to /usr/include/libxml++.  For example
   attribute.h includes <libxml++/nodes/node.h>.  Compilation fails.

   Similarly attribute.h includes <glibmm/ustring.h>, but the glibmm
   directory includes <glibmm/ustring.h>, but the path for the glibmm
   headers is /usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm and the same problem 
   exists there.

   Finally, the glibmm headers include a file <glibmmconfig.h> that
   does not exist in the include tree.  It does exist in 
   /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glibmm-2.4/include however.

   Bottom line, the include structure is pretty dorked up.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   Gave up after a little fussing.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   I decided the package was broken.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   I thought I would be able to actually use this package.

Bob
