Source: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.2.1-3
Severity: serious
Tags: wheezy sid

Hi,

After the recent addition of libgl to the pkgconfig requirements in the
latest upload, gnome-shell no longer builds on arm{el,hf}; from the
armel build log:

checking for GNOME_SHELL... no

No package 'gl' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GNOME_SHELL_CFLAGS
and GNOME_SHELL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
