libdar-dev: missing include file /usr/include/dar/config.h

[Rolf Gebhardt]

When switching from ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 my project using libdar did not compile any more. The compiler complained it could find the header "/usr/include/dar/config.h".
The reason is simple:

/usr/include/dar/libdar.hpp includes /usr/include/dar/libdar_my_config.h
/usr/include/dar/libdar_my_config.h includes /usr/include/dar/config.h which does not exist.

On ubuntu 20.04 libdar_my_config.h included /usr/include/dar/libdar_config.h which exists.

For me I solved the problem by symlinking libdar_config.h to config.h.

But never the less the package libdar-dev should be corrected for ubuntu 22.04

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The exact same error as reported by Rolf Gebhardt happens to me when trying to compile the program gdar (https://www.peckto.de/gdar), which uses libdar.

Looks like it is a simple error that can be easily corrected.

The workaround of creating a symlink provided above seems to work for me.

Apparently unrelated to this bug, for those trying to compile and run gdar under Kubuntu, I had to install the package adwaita-icon-theme-full to make gdar work.
