Hello Tollef, We are a bit confused about the behavior of Requires.private fields in *.pc files. Could you please as pkg-config maintainer and upstream please read the buglog of #504220 and give us your opinion on the issue?
The question for me is whether this is actually a bug of pkg-config, or if Requires.private fields really imply that packages shipping the .pc need to copy that to the Depends field or are we talking about a bug in pkg-config. In any case, a proper explanation of this issue in some README.Debian file in the pkg-config issue would be really helpful. I suspect such a file would suitable to close both #475031 (against pkg-config, severity: important) and #341977 (pkg-config as well, severity: normal). -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
