Description Jeroen Ooms 2018-03-21 16:33:03 UTC 
Pango does not include the new fribidi dependency in the pango.pc

  pkg-config --libs-only-l --static pango
    -lpango-1.0 -lm -lgobject-2.0 -lffi -lglib-2.0 -lintl -lpcre -lintl -liconv -lpcre

Therefore static linking fails:

  dlopen(/Users/travis/build/r-hub/homebrew-cran/_AUTOBREW_BUILD/rsvg/libs/rsvg.so, 6): 
    Symbol not found: _fribidi_get_bidi_type

I think the pango.pc file should contain -lfribidi in the Libs.private or Requires.private field if pango was configured with fribidi.
Comment 1 Khaled Hosny 2018-03-26 10:02:32 UTC 
Fixed in master, thanks!
Comment 2 kloczek 2018-04-10 23:38:40 UTC 
This issue has been incorrectly fixed.
bug 795115

As it is static linking fribidi should be listed not in Requires but in Requires.private, and on building the project.
Comment 3 Jeremy Bicha 2018-04-25 16:41:09 UTC 
Khaled, please consider whether Requires.private is a better place for fribidi.
Comment 4 Khaled Hosny 2018-04-25 19:59:33 UTC 
I reverted my commit, someone who knows pkg-config better should fix the original issue.
Comment 5 kloczek 2018-04-26 08:59:05 UTC 
IMO problem generally is a bit deeper.
If by source code configuration options some package does not provides static libraries in .pc files lines with Requires.private should be not present/commented.
