A similar message was printed for GLib.
I tried reading the pkg-config man page, and I have no idea that this
"uninstalled" stuff means. The man page says
--uninstalled
Normally if you request the package "foo" and the
package "foo-
uninstalled" exists, pkg-config will prefer the "-
uninstalled"
variant. This allows compilation/linking against
uninstalled
packages. If you specify the "--uninstalled" option,
pkg-config
will return successfully if any "-uninstalled"
packages are
being used, and return failure (false)
otherwise. (The
"PKG_CONFIG_DISABLE_UNINSTALLED" environment variable
keeps pkg-
config from implicitly choosing "-uninstalled"
packages, so if
that variable is set, they will only have been used if
you pass
a name like "foo-uninstalled" on the command line
explicitly.)
but I'm not sure what a "-uninstalled variant" of a package is.
