Public bug reported: Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/971282:
Package: systemd Version: 246.6-1 Severity: important Upstream changed the paths in systemd.pc from prefix to rootprefix in v246 for sysusers_dir, sysctl_dir, binfmt_dir and modules-load_dir: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/4a56315a990b802860170ecd1bbd3eb68e14a38b This breaks packages which use pkg-config to determine those paths and where .install files reference /usr/. An example is mandos. I think we should revert this change. I don't see a compelling reason to move those files from /usr to /lib given that we require /usr to be pre-mounted by initramfs, if it's separate. Moving files from /usr to /lib files kinda backwards nowadays. I intend to apply a patch like the attached one in Debian. That said, I hope I can convince Lennart to revert this change upstream as well. Thoughts, Comments?
