Hi, This bug is difficult to grasp.
I launched the command: pkg-config --exists gtkextra-3.0 --print-errors and got this reply: Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkextra-3.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtkextra-3.0' found Then I grepped and hacked around, and I could check that the necesary .pc file is provided by libgtkextra-dev, as /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/gtkextra-3.0.pc And, strangely enough, later I launched the command again: pkg-config --exists gtkextra-3.0 --print-errors ... this command reported a success. So I believe that there is some instability coming from pkg-config rather than from the package gtkextra. Maybe a wrong list of considered directories? With my architecture, relevant directories can be : /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/ but also : /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu as I enabled this other architecture at some time. Does pkg-config take the right directory (or directories) by default? Should I reassign the bug to pkg-config? Best regards, Georges.
