  • Re: why some -dev packages depend on pkgconf and not others?

    That is not clear to me why certain -dev depends on pkconf whereas (a
    lot of) others with a .pc file don't.

    I guess it would depend on whether the only supported and documented
    way to link with the library in the package is to use pkg-config or
    whether the .pc files are only shipped for convenience.
