Package: libfreetype-dev Version: 2.13.3+dfsg-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: fe...@salfelder.orgDear maintainers When trying to build some package, I ran into the following, which I think is a bug in libfreetype-dev. 1. some package uses freetype2.pc fails to configure. 2. The config.log reveals problem about missing bzip2.pc 3. $ find /usr/ -name freetype2.pc /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc 4. $ dpkg -S /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc libfreetype-dev:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc 5. $ grep bzip2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc Requires.private: zlib, bzip2, libpng, libbrotlidec 6. # apt install libbzip2-dev Error: Unable to locate package libbzip2-dev 7. # apt install libbzip3-dev [..] OK. It appears to that libbzip has undergone a version bump that was missed in freetype2.pc. I could build some package in question after tweaking the pc files to use bzip3 instead. I did not investigate any further though.
bzip2 and bzip3 are separate and co-installable. However, freetype links against bzip2 only.
libbz2-dev is a dependency of libfreetype-dev. libbz2-dev also installs the pkg-config file bzip2.pc in /usr/share/pkgconfig/bzip2.pc.
If libbz2-dev is not installed, then your system is misconfigured. $ pkg-config --libs bzip2 -lbz2 Based on your information, this does not look like a freetype bug. What package are you trying to build? Hugh
