[debian-mysql] Bug#590905: libmysqld-dev: Missing dependency or wrong flags in mysql_config

[Andreas Pakulat]

Package: libmysqld-dev
Version: 5.1.48-1
Severity: important

Hi,

currently mysql_config produces this output when asked for the
embedded-server libraries:
~>mysql_config --libmysqld-libs
-rdynamic -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqld -ldl -lwrap -lrt

However the libmysqld-dev package has no dependency onto libwrap0-dev,
hence breaking apps that are using the above output to link their code
against libmysqld. 

So either a dependency needs to be added or the mysqld_config output
needs to be fixed to not include libraries that are not necessary to
link against.

Andreas
