Package: pkg-config Version: 0.29-4+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I'm running Debian testing and was trying to use a package reliant on libncursesw. The libncursesw5-dev package installs ncursesw.pc into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig, alongside many other pkg-config files. Upon configuring, however, an error was reported from pkg-config that it could not find ncursesw.pc. Investigation shows that this is because it is no loading from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig, which means that any -dev package which installs to that directory won't work correctly with pkg-config unless the user explicitly specifies PKG_CONFIG_PATH (as I did to work around this). I believe that pkg-config should look there by default, or else all -dev packages installing there need to be updated to install somewhere in the default path. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages pkg-config depends on: ii libc6 2.26-6 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.54.3-2 pkg-config recommends no packages. pkg-config suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
