Why is your application looking for a .la file? This is supplementary

failures. The vast majority of library packages in Debian and Ubuntu do
not ship .la files, they instead ship pkg-config .pc files which provide
a cleaner interface for the system library case.

Bug description:
I noticed when trying to compile an application against the version of
the freetype library shipped with Cosmic that it doesn't include the

My compilation failed when it couldn't find the file.
