Obsolete dependency report, 2016-Aug-12

[Yaakov Selkowitz]

I just went through a cleanup of stale packages and obsolete 
dependencies.  Despite having added _several_ different ABI bumps over 
the last month, it looks like we are in *really* good shape.  I would 
like to thank the affected maintainers for rebuilding their packages so 
quickly.

AFAICS there are just a few remaining packages to be rebuilt:

4ti2                                         Yue Ren/Marco Atzeri
gd[1]                                        Dr. Volker Zell
libmng                                       Dr. Volker Zell
mingw64-i686-gcc[2]                          Jonathan Yong
mingw64-x86_64-gcc[2]                        Jonathan Yong
slang                                        Marco Atzeri
tesseract-ocr                                Marco Atzeri
texlive                                      Ken Brown
znc                                          Alexey Sokolov

Will do..

When recompiling this one on x86, I found that a couple of already 
installed .la files have a reference
to a non existing file /usr/lib/libxcb.la, namely
libXfixes.la
libXext.la
libXinerama.la
libXcursor.la

By the way why is libmng in your list ? When checking the new 
dependencies they are the same as the ones
from the current version.

Ciao

There is a new version of libmng (2.0.3) which depends on lcms2 instead
of the obsolete lcms-1.x.  Note that this will produce libmng2 instead
of libmng1, which will then necessitate a rebuild of the few packages
which depend thereon (all mine).
