This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '35'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

I think it would be good to suggest this to upstream
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=libunistring

Though I suppose a .pc file could be carried in Fedora in the meantime.

FYI, the previous discussion at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libunistring/2018-02/msg00000.html

As for having a .pc file in downstream only, I don't see much benefit as applications wouldn't be able to assume its presence.
