Description Petr Lautrbach 2021-11-11 13:01:00 UTC

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2018492


Description of problem:
On 64-bit Fedora, pkgconfig returns bad library flags for libsepol that eventually causes compiler errors when called from build systems in projects where libsepol is a dependency.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.2-1

How reproducible:
Very.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install pkg-config.
2. Install libsepol-devel-3.2-1.fc34.
3. Run `pkg-config --libs libsepol`.

Actual results:
`-L/usr/lib -lsepol`

Expected results:
`-lsepol`

Additional info:
Should not be a change in upstream as the Makefile specifies an overridable default LIBDIR.
