But that’s not entirely true - a package which ships a .pc file arguably needs pkgconfig of some sort for that to be useful, and it’s absolutely possible to do development on the target. You can argue whether this dependency is actually useful - and I don’t believe it is, the user of the .pc file should be the origin of the pkgconf dependency, but we can fix this and keep the existing behaviour by adding another RPROVIDES to pkgconf. (note that my WIP branch to remove rpmdeps entirely doesn’t generate these dependencies at all, as I really do believe they’re pointless) Ross
