Public bug reported:

There are issues with two files:

1. The file polyml.pc is not provided by any Poly/ML package.  Without this, 
pkg-config cannot be used to create the arguments for linking against 
libpolyml: the command `pkg-config --libs polyml` fails instead of producing ld 
flags.  This issue was identified by a user in the following report:
https://github.com/giraffelibrary/giraffe/issues/2#issuecomment-940525255
(second half, relating to Poly/ML).

2. The file polyc is provided in the package polyml but the utility cannot work 
without one of the files libpolyml.so or libpolyml.a provided in libpolyml-dev. 
 libpolyml-dev is not a required by polyml so polyc should be provided by 
libpolyml-dev.  Otherwise, package installations appear broken, as reported by 
a user in the following report:
https://github.com/polyml/polyml/issues/161

Note that the current package version, 5.7.1, was released nearly 4 years ago 
at the time of reporting this bug:
https://github.com/polyml/polyml/releases/tag/v5.7.1
If this version is updated, it should be noted that the latest version, 5.8.2, 
no longer depends on libffi.  (Version 5.8.1 was the last version to depend on 
libffi.)
