Package: pkg-config
Version: 0.26-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Please backport the changes to pkg.m4 that add the PKG_INSTALLDIR,
PKG_NOARCH_INSTALLDIR and PKG_CHECK_VAR macros. There are already
projects using them. Using the pkg.m4 from Debian's pkg-config package
makes autoconf fail, cf. [1].
I've attached a bug that backports the relevant changes from the
upstream commits 5fc77a96b7a1114e296f968037342f060d4bc34b and
5b463c927b6caeb332bb147572ea82b1650ceb7d.
