[Pkg-dpdk-devel] Bug#915419: collectd: fails to build with DPDK 18.11

[Luca Boccassi]

Source: collectd
Version: 5.8.1-1
Severity: important
Forwarded: https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pull/3015

Collectd's configure.ac uses AC_CHECK_LIB to test for the availability
of DPDK, but that macro will hard-code the linker flag to -ldpdk which
does not exist anymore in DPDK 18.11 (it was a linker script
previously).

The fix is to stop doing compile-time checks if the pkg-config file is
available and satisfies the dependency. A pull request has been opened
upstream, and I will follow-up with a backported patch once accepted.
