Public bug reported:

the bug system does not let me make a bugreport for the dev but

the cmake files for this package are not in the place that gets searched by 
default via cmake's find-package
according to 
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.14/command/find_package.html#search-procedure

the files should be located in either:
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib*|share)/cmake/<name>*/                 
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib*|share)/<name>*/                       
<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib*|share)/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/ 

instead they are located in:

<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib*|share)/cmake/

which misses the name.
Therefore other packages that do a find_package to see if the dependency can be 
found during compile cannot find it.

** Affects: cpprest (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) => cpprest (Ubuntu)
