xext.pc has xextproto as requirement but libext_devel doesn't have
x11_xextproto (or xextproto whichever is the correct package) as dependency
======================================================================
Suggestion:
Couldn't this kind of check be done with a checkpkg module? (No, I can't write
it myself, I'm illiterate when it comes to python)
The more interesting question is: If the dependency is real, why hasn't
it been cought up during link symbol checking? I don't see much value in
checking redundant .pc files.
Because the dependency isn't symbol based rather then on header files.
And even if there had been a lib dependency this kind of dependency
wouldn't have been caught.
Example:
Package A have liba.so, A_devel a.pc, B libc.so which depends on
liba.so, and B_devel b.pc which have a.pc as a requirement.
When building the packages B will have A as a required dependency and
checkpkg will sugggest that A_devel needs A and B_devel needs B, but not
that B_devel needs A_devel.
