Package: libelf-dev Version: 0.170-0.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Due to the use of "Requires.private: zlib" in the libelf.pc pkg-config file, the following fails: $ pkg-config --exists libelf; echo $? 1 $ pkg-config --cflags libelf Package zlib was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `zlib.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'zlib', required by 'libelf', not found That is because pkg-config's Requires.private is parsed even when -- static is not used when calling pkg-config, even though it's only needed when building a static library. Please consider either adding a dependency to zlib1g-dev in libelf-dev so that the required zlib pkg-config file is always available or to change from "Requires.private: zlib" to "Libs.private: -lz" as a workaround (yes it only applies to Requires, not to Libs - that's a decision by the upstream developers of pkg-config). Found while rebuilding iproute2 in a minimal chroot. Thanks! -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
