[Bug 737340] Re: Exiv2 has to be rebuilt after libexpat got 'multi-arched'

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package exiv2 - 0.21.1-0ubuntu2

---------------
exiv2 (0.21.1-0ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: delete the content of dependency_libs in la file to avoid
    having to rebuild this package if the path of the libs changes. This fixes
    also FTBFS in packages that b-d on libexiv2-dev because of incorrect
    reference of libexpat.la. (LP: #737340)

Title:
  Exiv2 has to be rebuilt after libexpat got 'multi-arched'

Status in “exiv2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: exiv2

  Hi,

  When build gnome-commander, that b-d on libexiv2-dev, I got the following error:
  ...
  libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libexpat.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/lib/libexpat.la'

  This is because libexiv2.la still references /usr/lib/libexpat.la
  instead of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu (or the one corresponding to the
  arch) after libexpat got 'multi-arched'.

  A simple rebuild of exiv2 would be enough to fix the issue, but a
  patch to build system to get rid of the content of dependency_libs
  would be cleaner (as spoken with Steve Langasek by irc).

  I've checked that the la file still works by rebuilding locally gnome-
  commander with the patched version of libexiv2-dev.

  thanks,
  fabrice
