+Subject: [PATCH] suricata_hawkbit: depends on HAVE_JSON_C
+
+Unconditionally selecting JSON when !HAVE_JSON_C leads to a warning:
+
+warning: (SURICATTA_HAWKBIT) selects JSON which has unmet direct dependencies (HAVE_JSON_C)
+
+and eventually a build failure:
+
+In file included from corelib/artifacts_versions.c:34:0:
+include/parselib.h:61:25: fatal error: json-c/json.h: No such file or directory
+
+Make SURICATTA_HAWKBIT depend on HAVE_JSON_C.
