[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#374016: libssl-dev: libssl.pc's Libs shouldn't include -ldl -lz

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: libssl-dev
Version: 0.9.8b-2
Severity: minor

Hi,

There are spurious dependencies in libssl.pc:

Libs: -L${libdir} -lcrypto -ldl -lz

-ldl -lz is _not_ needed in Libs (since the -lcrypto interface
doesn't depend on -ldl -lz interface) and just brings a unneeded
dependencies. It should rather be put in Libs.private:

Libs: -L${libdir} -lcrypto
Libs.private: -ldl -lz

(so that static compiling still works).

Samuel
