Dear Maintainer,
In Debian bullseye, pkgconf would deduplicate -L options:
# foo.pc
libdir=/opt/lib
Name: foo
Description: The foo library
Version: 1.0.0
Requires.private: bar
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfoo
# bar.pc
libdir=/opt/lib
Name: bar
Description: The bar library
Version: 1.0.0
Libs: -L${libdir} -lbar
$ /bullseye/usr/bin/pkg-config --libs --static foo
-L/opt/lib -lfoo -lbar
Since Debian bookworm, this is no longer the case:
$ pkg-config --libs --static foo
-L/opt/lib -lfoo -L/opt/lib -lbar
The version of pkg-config in Debian bookworm appears to be missing:
