Description Klaus Kämpf 2007-07-10 14:09:36 UTC 
configure.in.in checks for libzypp, why ?
Comment 1 Martin Vidner 2007-08-15 12:35:14 UTC 
Because yast2-*-bindings link to libzypp. That is to make libzypp available when one does not use y2base to start the process but instead perl (python...) directly.

I admit that it looks like a bug. Originally when coding the perl bindings, I tried it first without and when it did not work I simply linked the library without investigating further.

Originally reported on 10.3, moving to 11.0.
Comment 3 Martin Vidner 2008-04-16 11:37:39 UTC 
Since yast2-perl-bindings-2.16.6 it doesn't link to libzypp, as a part of fate#302119.
