I'm using Ubuntu 16 LTS. I was trying to compile some stuff that requires llvm-3.9-dev, so I installed it. However, the project wouldn't build, saying it couldn't open -lz. I installed the zlib1g-dev package, and after that it built successfully. So my question is, if llvm-3.9-dev requires zlib1g-dev (by virtue of being built and packaged with LLVM_ENABLE_ZLIB=ON), shouldn't the llvm-3.9-dev package have a dependency on the zlibg1-dev package so it also gets installed? Or more generally, should dev packages depend on other dev packages that are needed to build against them? Is this a bug, or are users just expected to know how to fix this sort of thing?
