Bug#390703: ubuntu digikam no longer requires libgphoto-2-2-dev

[Mark Purcell]

Luka,

I see from the ubuntu changelog for digikam that you claim that you no longer
need the libgphoto .la files due to the difference in the way the Kubuntu KDE
has been built.

I can confirm I am still having this problem in Debian with the 0.9.2 final
release package.

Can you provide some details so we can get this fixed in Debian?

Thanks,
Mark

Kubuntu _never_ needed the libgphoto2-dev .la files.  This
change is most of the time the only change in the digikam
kubuntu pkg.

Damn :(   Have you the time to try the fix described

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125696#c28

and following comments?

Lure and me discussed it on #kubuntu-devel on freenode. Up to now
we found nothing that explains the difference.

Maybe, while at debconf, you can join  #debian-qt-kde on oftc.
Lure and myself are usualy there too.

I've not looked into this myself, but there's nothing I know of that
Ubuntu does which should make any difference.  I asked Matthias Klose
who suggested Ubuntu might happen to have a reference to the gphoto.so
file which Debian doesn't.  I can see in /usr/lib/libdigikam.la
dependency_libs='.../usr/lib/libgphoto2.la /usr/lib/libexif.la
/usr/lib/libgphoto2_port.la...' but I have neither of those files
installed so I'm at a bit of a loss what the difference could be.

Best hint we have up to now is Marcus Meissners msg from 19 Jan
in this bug report thread:

  ...
  Further investigations shows a conflict between the KDE builtin libltdl
  (in libkdecore) and the external ones and how libgphoto2 uses it.
   ...

Marcus: can you elaborate how you found this out?  Makes for us (or is it
only me?) 'glueless' hopefully easier to compare kubuntu and debian to find
out what needs to be changed in debian.

Not the build-deps of digikam on disk? ;)

(0) ~ $ dpkg -L libgphoto2-2-dev | grep la
...
/usr/lib/libgphoto2_port.la
/usr/lib/libgphoto2_port/0.7.0/serial.la

/usr/lib/libgphoto2_port/0.7.0/ptpip.la
