Description Ralf Corsepius 2005-09-27 05:20:34 UTC

Description of problem:
/usr/share/pkgconfig is not owned by any package

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pkgconfig-0.15.0-6

How reproducible:
# rpm -qf /usr/share/pkgconfig
file /usr/share/pkgconfig is not owned by any package

Expected results:
/usr/share/pkgconfig should be owned.

As /usr/share/pkgconfig is pretty much useless without pkgconfig, adding
/usr/share/pkgconfig to the pkgconfig-rpm probably would be a feasible solution.

Not worth an FC4 update, but fixed in Rawhide

Comment 2 Ralf Corsepius 2005-09-30 01:54:40 UTC

On a second thought, is using /usr/share/pkgconfig correct at all?

I am not sure. Shouldn't all *.pc's be installed into %{_libdir}/pkgconfig?

I.e. shouldn't all packages installing their *.pcs to /usr/share/pkgconfig be
considered broken, because *.pcs contain cflags, libs etc => Unless very
carefully handcrafted, in general *.pc's aren't architecture independent and
therefore probably should never be installed to /usr/share/* at all?

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2005-10-12 14:05:10 UTC

/usr/share/pkgconfig is used for .pc files describing noarch things.
