When such a dependency is expressed as | dependency_libs='... /usr/lib/libkickermain.la ...' 'libkickermain.la' must be a main package but not in -devel. Because a library can be linked against arbitrary .la modules, a library must either remove .la files completely or ship them in the main package. Enrico
