Bug#716872: liblas-dev: dependencies and build-dependencies unsatisfiable due to change in libgeotiff-dev

[Peter Green]

Package: liblas-dev
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

geotiff has recently switched from libtiff5-dev to libtiff5-alt-dev to solve a build-dependency conflict that cropped up in grads during the gd transition. Unfortunately this has made the dependencies for liblas-dev unsatisfiable and the build-dependencies for the liblas source package also unsatisfiable.

The fix to make the package build again involves switching the dependencies and adding some pkg-config calls. 

I have prepared and attached a patch with NMU changelog entry (though the closes tag still needs adding because I can't add that without the bug number which of course I don't have yet).

If I get no objections to the patch and it is not uploaded by the maintainer before then I intend to do some further tests (so far i've checked it builds but not whether the resulting package works) and upload this as a NMU late next week.
