[pkg-fgfs-crew] Bug#638283: simgear2.0.0: public libraries underlinked

[Julian Taylor]

Package: simgear2.0.0
Version: 2.0.0-4
Severity: wishlist

most shared libraries installed in /usr/lib are underlinked.

$ dpkg -L simgear2.0.0  | xargs ldd -r 2>&1 | grep undefined | wc -l
103

this makes it impossible to link them when using ld --as-needed [0,1]

As I understand this is partly intentional due to the existing circular
dependencies.
Circular dependencies in shared libraries are not a very good practice, can
these circles be broken somehow?
