[Piuparts-devel] Bug#893022: piuparts should check whether pkgconfig dependencies are also package dependencies

[Adrian Bunk]

Package: piuparts
Version: 0.84
Severity: wishlist

For all pkgconfig files that are part of a -dev package,
piuparts should check with "pkg-config --cflags" whether
the package dependencies cover everything that is required
for using it.

Note that --static requirements are often not dependencies,
so this should not be checked.


An example bug would be #892956:

$ pkg-config --cflags libinput
Package libwacom was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libwacom.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libwacom', required by 'libinput', not found
