Hi Christan.

The Debian Squeeze release has the file:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/libtasn1-3-dev/filelist

However it was removed in Debian sid recently:

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/libt/libtasn1-3/libtasn1-3_2.9-3/changelog

Can you track down what *.la file you had that was referring
/usr/lib/libtasn1.la?  If it is a local code, I am sorry but you have to
recompile that code after the *.la file was removed.  If it is something
in Debian, we should have cought when making the switch but knowing what
package it is should be enough to fix it.
