Description Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-03 14:56:45 UTC 
libltdl.so.3()(64bit) is needed by (installed) sane-1.0.17-3.x86_64

Please remove this requirement, and use dlopen directly.
Comment 1 Johannes Meixner 2006-02-03 15:30:20 UTC 
Why is it a major bug?
What is the "Major loss of function" for you?

Why such a change now?
We are now in fact after beta4 because I cannot fix it for beta4.

libltdl was required in 10.0 and there is seems to have been ok.
libltdl is also required in 10.1 i386.
What is wrong now with libltdl on x86_64?
Comment 2 Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-03 15:34:44 UTC 
We do not want to install libtool by default!

It's wrong to install it anywhere ;-)
Comment 3 Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-03 19:28:03 UTC 
Let's make it an enhancement for now and discuss later again.
Comment 4 Johannes Meixner 2006-07-07 09:51:50 UTC 
Is is not sane itself which requires libltdl.
There is no libltdl function call in the sane sources.

It is in fact a inter-library dependency:

When I build sane as usual with "configure --with-gphoto2"
to get the gphoto2 backend built, libgphoto2 is needed
and this library requires libltdl.

When I build sane with "configure --without-gphoto2"
it does no longer require libltdl.

Comment 6 Johannes Meixner 2006-07-07 09:54:41 UTC 
Created attachment 92873 [details]
"rpm -q --requires sane" if "configure --without-gphoto2"
Comment 7 Johannes Meixner 2006-07-07 10:02:09 UTC 
I assume we don't want to simply drop gphoto2 support from sane.
Therefore I think this on eis a duplicate of bug #147999.

By the way:
Why not simply split the libtool runtime-stuff from the libtool package
as a libtool-lib sub-package?

Andreas, could you look at comment 7, please?
