Description:

Some libraries installed with wxgtk 3.0.0 are linked against libwebkitgtk2….so, but the wxgtk package doesn't depend on the webkitgtk2 package (which contains libwebkitgtk2*.so). This is a real problem because linking against those libraries doesn't work, obviously, and this is made worse by those libraries being part of the output of `wx-config --libs std`.

For example:

[0 mbunkus@chai-latte ~] wx-config --libs std
-pthread -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-3.0 -lwx_gtk2u_webview-3.0 -lwx_gtk2u_html-3.0 -lwx_gtk2u_qa-3.0 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-3.0 -lwx_gtk2u_core-3.0 -lwx_baseu_xml-3.0 -lwx_baseu_net-3.0 -lwx_baseu-3.0
[0 mbunkus@chai-latte ~] ldd /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_webview-3.0.so|grep -i 'not found'
libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 => not found


Additional info:
* package version(s): wxgtk 3.0.0-2



Steps to reproduce:

Install wxgtk. Remove webkitgtk2 if it is present (which will be allowed). Try to compile an application against wxWidgets that uses the recommended way of detecting the libraries, which is the `wx-config --libs …` line shown above. MKVToolNix is such a package: configure will fail to detect wxWidgets support.
