I thought that both settings worked independly and added RDEPENDS because 
of the shared library.  But the dependency was indeed detected 
automatically.

As for the git access: it's our policy here to fetch if possibly directly 
from a sourcecode repository.  Providing readonly access via git or svn is 
really getting common and I guess those tarballs will go away sometime.

BTW: there is already a new canutils/libsocketcan release which ships with 
a new linux/can/netlink.h header (can_netlink.h).  I will provide recipes 
for both versions and ship can_netlink.h again.  Otherwise it could 
create a race between libsocketcan and linux-libc-headers versions.
