I don't think it's a bug as such in either freetype219 or pkgconfig. This was done at one point to allow peaceful coexistence of freetype2 and freetype219--freetype219 installed stuff in a private directory.
In current/unstable this is reversed now. The old freetype2 installs in a private directory, and freetype219 installs in the main tree as well as in its former private location, for compatibility: $ dpkg -S freetype2.pc freetype219: /sw/lib/freetype219/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc freetype219: /sw/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkk3wWcACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ/tMQCgj3JhcWqxHUuqvNhBnkh20wq3 +NIAoJ3q0HY0wnm2RbtmMzQB5rFkyKUp =CyzW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
