Hello pkg-mate!

Please be careful not to break other deprecated software which is still
in the archive (or I'll consider hijacking the package back to pkg-gnome
again and restore it to its previous non-RC-buggy state because I really
don't want to be spending time on deprecated things which you just
forced me to do).

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xres.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
