Package: pkg-config
Version: 0.22-1
Severity: normal
pkg-config package uses --with-installed-glib configure option. It breaks
horribly in one case: when you
are trying to build your private copy of glib with debian pkg-config, and your
private copy is broken at
the moment.
E.g. you set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you build glib, install it into some prefix,
*then* break it
(remove a dependency lib in my case, so the libglib-2.0.so is unusable at the
moment), and try to rebuild
it. Glib configure needs pkg-config, pkg-config is linked to broken glib, dead
end.

Don't do that then?

Unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH, use glib from packaging system and it'll work
just fine.
