Description: psqlodbc depends on libtool. Should it be libltdl?


Additional info:
psqlodbc-08.04.0100-2

psqlodbc provides a library object for unixODBC to communicate with a PostgreSQL database server.
This package has a dependency on libtool which pulls in gcc (and associated dependencies).
I can see that psqlodbc might want to load other libraries at runtime but why does it need access to
a build-time tool like libtool?
Is the dependency on libtool incorrect and should it be *libltdl* instead?

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S psqlodbc
Notice the dependencies libtool and gcc etc. pulled-in by it
This task depends upon

ldd /usr/lib/psqlodbcw.so shows a requirement for libltdl.so.7, so I think the libtool dependency should be changed to libltdl. It is possible libltdl is not installed before installing psqlodbc.

unixodbc already depends on libltdl
