You're right, it complains without libpixman-1-dev too, just as before. It looks like it may be better to patch away pkg-config usage in the dependent packages instead... ;) So, what is the right way here, having in mind that - in this particular example - pixman isn't used except of a an inter- dependent library? It looks like the upstream should switch from Requires: $pkg (or as my wrong attempt, Requires.private) to libs.private: $(pkg-config --libs $pkg) with some way of handling -L options, right? Is there some good document outlining all this pkg-config "best practices"? Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
