Package: pkg-config Version: 0.26-1 Severity: important My understanding of that option is that the value of the variable 'libdir' in the:
/usr/lib/<arch>-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/lib<library>.pc should be returned. What I get instead, is a SPACE character. It is, IMO, crucial that the option produces expected results. Some Makefiles can benefit/depend on that ;) Now, the current behaviour makes the option useless. For example: $ printf '%s' "$(pkg-config --libs-only-L libdivecomputer)" | hexdump -Cv 00000000 20 | | 00000001 Expected is either: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu Makefile lines like: libdc-usr := $(wildcard /usr/lib/*/libdivecomputer.a) libdc-usr64 := $(wildcard /usr/lib64/libdivecomputer.a) are unsustainable. My understanding is that this: libdc-usr := $$(pkg-config --libs-only-L libdivecomputer)/libdivecomputer.a may.
