Package: libxrandr-dev Version: 2:1.5.1-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
The pkg-config file for libxrandr-dev (/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig/xrandr.pc on my computer) contains this line: Requires: xproto randrproto >= 1.5 But the apt info for it (/var/lib/apt/lists/ ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-armhf_Packages) contains this line: Depends: libxrandr2 (= 2:1.5.1-1), libx11-dev, libxext-dev, x11proto-randr-dev (>= 1.4), libxrender-dev As a result, apt and dpkg consider x11proto-randr-dev 1.4.x and libxrandr-dev 1.5.1 to be a valid combination, but pkg-config does not. Then pkg-config fails for all packages that depend on xrandr (such as gtk+-2.0), and pkg-config errors don't tend to get clearly/consistently reported so it's a nuissance. Seems like probably the apt info should be updated? The "System Information" below is after I successfully resolved the issue by updating x11proto-randr-dev.
