Bug#397694: lincity-ng: FTBFS: pkg-config not found

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: lincity-ng
Version: 1.0.3-1
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS on i386, very likely to fail everywhere else
Usertags: grid5000

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in etch, I discovered that your package
failed to build on i386.

Relevant parts:
checking for iconv declaration... 
         extern size_t iconv (iconv_t cd, char * *inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft, char * *outbuf, size_t *outbyte
sleft);
checking whether binary relocation support should be enabled... no
checking for zlib... found
checking for pkg-config... no
*** The pkg-config script could not be found. Make sure it is
*** in your path, or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable
*** to the full path to pkg-config.
*** Or see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig to get pkg-config.
configure: error: Library requirements (libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.11) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
 environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
make: *** [config.status] Error 1

About the archive rebuilt: The rebuilt was done on about 30 AMD64 nodes
of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot containing an etch i386
environment (not unstable).  Internet was not accessible from the build
systems. The builds were processed as root.

About Grid'5000:
Grid'5000 is an highly reconfigurable experimental Grid platform
gathering 9 sites and featuring a total of 5000 CPUs. It serves as a
