Bug#1095136: libmapnik-dev: mapnik-config not installed

[Marcos Dione]

Package: libmapnik-dev
Version: 4.0.5+ds-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

    I'm trying to install a nodejs module called mapnik. This module
includes its own vendored version of the mapnik library, which seems to
be old or something (there is no version info in the binares), and this leads to other errors. If you're insterested, take a look at:

https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/11786 [closed]

    So I'm trying to build the module from source, but I get this error:

npm ERR! /bin/sh: 1: mapnik-config: not found
npm ERR! gyp: Call to 'mapnik-config --cflags' returned exit status 127 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp
npm ERR! gyp ERR! configure error

    and indeed, the binary is not packaged:

mdione at ioniq:~/src/system/osm/kosmtik$ apt-file search mapnik-config
mdione at ioniq:~/src/system/osm/kosmtik$ echo $?
1

    The script is in the sources:

mdione at ioniq:~/src/system/debian/mapnik-4.0.5+ds$ find . -name mapnik-config
./utils/mapnik-config

    just probably not included in the .debs

    Cheers,

	-- Marcos.
