I guess I'm not sure what you are asking, but have you tried 'man pkg-config'?
No, I didn't. I should have looked first....I started asking the question about the implicit deps and threw that in at the last minute not having much knowledge of pkg-config. 'pkg-config --libs gnome-vfs-2.0' looks like everything I needed to know. IOW, the old behavior looks as though it has been restored. Being unfamiliar, I'm still not absolutely certain...so I'll just try it without the patch.
What I was asking (without knowing what I was asking) was this: If I were to call 'pkg-config --libs ORBit-2.0', will it pull in all of it's dependencies too. It does, pkgconfig-0.17 broke this, and IIRC 0.18 did as well. I haven't looked at the changelog to see when exactly it was fixed, but it works like it should now AFAICT. I don't understand why the change took place to begin with. There is no reason I should have to specify the entire dependency list, when they are absolutely required anyway.
