Ive also bumped into this. I'm copying the bug report template from https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/CrossDependencies since this is a common issue:
""" We are working on getting multiarch metadata correct throught the archive. This package needs to be marked 'Multi-Arch: foreign' for dependencies and build-depencies to work correctly in all cases. Any package 'X' build-depending on pkg-config cannot be cross-built because apt-get build-dep -a<arch> cannot satisfy X's build-dependencies until Multi-Arch: foreign is added to pkg-config's control file, to indicate that pkg-config from any available arch will satisfy the dependency. See http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/CrossDependencies and 'Dependencies involving Architecture: all packages' in the Multiarch Spec for further explanation. """ By the way, I'd be more concerned that this package hasn't been updated since May 2011 Regards, -- Raúl Sánchez Siles ----->Proud Debian user<----- Linux registered user #416098
