package libgtk2.0-dev
unarchive 370693
package libgtk2.0-dev
reopen 370693
package libgtk2.0-dev
retitle 370693 libgtk2.0-dev: bump dependencies to meet gdk-2.0.pc
requirement
found 370693 2.8.20-7
thanks

Since /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gdk-2.0.pc has
   Requires: xext xinerama xi xrandr xfixes

But the packages on which this package depends,
   Depends: libxext-dev, libxinerama-dev, libxi-dev, libxrandr-dev,
libxfixes-dev
does not always provide
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/{xext,xinerama,xi,xrandr,xfixes}.pc

To ensure that it depend on the packages providing those .pc files,
then need to bump the dependencies as follow,

   libxext-dev >= 1:1.0.1-2
   libxinerama-dev >= 1:1.0.1-4.1
   libxi-dev >= 1:1.0.1-4
   libxrandr-dev >= 1:1.0.2-2
   libxfixes-dev >= 1:3.0.0-3

P.S. The followings are the error messages I got from running
"pkg-config --cflags gdk-2.0", when one (or more) of the above
dependencies has not been met.

   Package {xext,xinerama,xi,xrandr,xfixes} was not found in the pkg-config
search path.
   Perhaps you should add the directory containing
`{xext,xinerama,xi,xrandr,xfixes}.pc'
   to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
   Package '{xext,xinerama,xi,xrandr,xfixes}', required by 'GDK', not found
