AGL distro and redis failure

Hello,

I have a recipe that uses jsonrpc-cpp (1.3.x) and that now pulls in hiredis, which is dependent on redis.

In AGL 9 jsonrepc-cpp (0.7.x) does NOT use hiredis and thus builds there.

As this seems to be dependent on an AGL provided profile, I thought I’d ask here first, before digging deeper, more people may experience this at some point. Please note that the same issue with redis is in both AGL9 as AGL 10, but it is not used in 9 in my case.
