Yes, that's true; I don't currently know how to solve that issue properly. I've added a check in preinst script to remove that bogus directory, but that won't help with removing broken versions of the package co-installed with pkg-config: the only way to fix them is to upgrade then to a new version (or to fix the issue manually). -- Cheers, Andrew
