Bug#792842: llvm-config --system-libs wants -ledit, but no dependency on libedit-dev

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Package: llvm
Version: 1:3.5-25
Severity: normal

Hello,

sparse (see the package with the same name) links against llvm and uses

	llvm-config --system-libs

to determine the needed ldflags. The output contains among others

	-ledit

but llvm doesn't depend (or even recommend) libedit-dev. The same hold
true for llvm in unstable (1:3.5-26).

So for the sparse Debian package I added libedit-dev to Build-Depends
for now, but this is ugly.

Can you please add libedit-dev to Depends of llvm (or alternatively drop
-ledit from llvm-config)?

Best regards
Uwe
