[...] Hello, parts of the source code of binaries linking against libopts is usually generated from template files by invoking autogen. Therefore source packages usually b-d and require on autogen (not only libots25-dev) and ./configure searches for autogen. autogen (the binary package) in turn depends on libopts25-dev. So imho shipping autoopts.pc in autogen is the right thing to do. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
