Package: firebird-dev
Version: 2.5.2.26540.ds4-1
Severity: important

Hi,

LibreOffice 4.2 gets a internal, embedded firebird database. That said,
this today entered master and I wanted to do a testbuild to see what I need.

>From configure:

$ apt-file search fb_config

No fb_config..

$ apt-file search fbembed.pc
$ apt-file search fbembed
firebird-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfbembed.so

libfbembed2.5: /usr/share/doc/libfbembed2.5

No fbembed.pc either.

Neither of them there. Please ship one (or better both) of them...

Regards,

Rene
