Dear Maintainer,

Please forgive me if this is just a misunderstanding. Having installed libdar-
dev:
$ cat test.cpp
#include <dar/libdar.hpp>
int main() {libdar::get_version();return 0;}
$ g++ -o test test.cpp $(pkg-config --libs --cflags libdar64)
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lthreadar: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgpgme: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrsync: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcap: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

As I understand it these things (for instance libthreadar-dev) should have been
automatically installed.

Hi Scott,

I'm following up on this.  I'm a bit puzzled, because while libdar-dev
doesn't directly depend on the packages you name, libdar64-6000t64 does.
I wonder if there is something odd about the pkg-config output on your
system, or your system itself?  Can you replicate it on current sid?

Thanks,

John
