I'd be quite happy to deprecate /usr/lib/pkgconfig in Debian and move to a model where those files are either installed in the arch-specified directory or /usr/local. That's a transition, but it'll make your problem go away. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
