[Bug 885844] Re: Strange dependency serf-private in file debian/libserf1.symbols

[James McCoy]

The libserf-private dependency is only declared for private symbols, so
that shouldn't cause problems for other packages unless they're using
symbols they shouldn't be.  Note that subversion 1.7 (and later) are
present in current Ubuntu versions.

Title:
  Strange dependency serf-private in file debian/libserf1.symbols

Status in serf package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am working on an experimental package for Subversion 1.7, which can
  use serf for HTTP communication now, however the file
  debian/libserf1.symbols contains a strange dependency, which prevents
  linking successfully against it in the subversion packages:

  ----------------------
  libserf-1.so.0 libserf1 #MINVER#
  | libserf-private
  * Build-Depends-Package: libserf-dev
  ....
  ----------------------

  Only when I update the serf-packages and remove the line with
  "libserf-private", I can compile and link successfully against the
  libraries from the serf-package.

  This happens in the version libserf1-1.0.0-2, which is currently used
  in both Oneiric and Precise.
