Package: libopenipmi-dev Version: 2.0.7-1 Severity: important Hi,
in order to determine if libopenipmi is installed, my software calls $ pkg-config --libs OpenIPMIpthread. This fails with the following error: -- 8< -- Package pthread was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pthread.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'pthread', required by 'OpenIPMIpthread', not found -- >8 -- The problem isn't new: Both, version 2.0.7-1 (Etch) and version 2.0.13-1 (Lenny, Sid), have this problem. According to `apt-file' `/usr/lib/pkgconfig/pthread.pc' is not provided by any package. I propose to remove `pthread' from the `Requires:' line of `/usr/lib/pkgconfig/OpenIPMIpthread.pc' and add `-pthread' to the `Cflags:' line instead. I've tagged this bug `important' because $ pkg-config --exists OpenIPMIpthread exits with a non-zero exit status, telling the calling process that the library isn't installed. This renders the pthread OS handler unusable by software that uses pkg-config to check if the library is installed. An alternative *-config script doesn't exist.
