Bug Description

The original netatalk 2.2beta4 has ACL capability, but this deb package doesn't enable it.
If I have already installed "libldap2-dev" and "libacl1-dev", then netatalk is built automatically with ACL capability.
I think it is better to require "libldap2-dev" and "libacl1-dev" in this deb package.
Thank you.

I tried compiling the 2.2.1-1 version from Precise (using apt-get source/dpkg-buildpackage) to create a backport on Oneric. On my x64 machine this worked fine as I already had libacl1-dev installed, however it seems now if you do not have it installed (as on my i386 machine) the build fails as follows:

This is reported as a bug #651406 in the Debian tracker and was fixed there (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=651406).

I can confirm that installing libacl1-dev then re-attempting the build results in the package building successfully.

I would recommend adding libacl1-dev to the build dependencies to resolve this issue.
