Package: lintian Version: 2.5.123 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
please consider implementing check for packages, that have pkg-config
files, but do not provide associated shared libraries.
This suggestion is inspired by #919180: package libcapnp-dev installs
`kj-http.pc', with
$ pkg-config --libs kj-http.pc
-lkj-http -lkj-async -lkj
but shared library kj-http is not installed. Format of pkg-config files
seems to be rather simple, so something as crude, as
$ grep '^Libs:' foo.pc | tr ' ' '\n' | grep -- '^-l'
might give list of libraries that must be present.
