Rebuilding the quantal package with the patch in this bug fixes the problem. I appreciate the reasons for not uploading this as an SRU but I think the least we can do is to offer a quantal package in the desktop-team PPA.
Meanwhile, upstream jhbuild tries very hard not to introduce depdencies that would prevent it from building in stable releases of Ubuntu (being one of its primary target platforms). For example, our version of libicu is totally fine (except for this bug) and the webkit and js185 dependencies you mention are listed in the "Optional" section above (and indeed, jhbuild is happy to build those....) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037588 Title: Provide pkg-config pc files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icu/+bug/1037588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
