[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#986336: libopenlibm-dev: Wrong prefix used in openlibm.pc

[Mitsutoshi Aoe]

Package: libopenlibm-dev
Version: 0.7.0+dfsg-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

libopenlibm-dev includes a pkg-config file called openlibm.pc but it contains
wrong "prefix" and renderes pkg-config --libs or --cflags openlibm unusable.

I think the following shell session demonstrates the issue well enough:

% pkg-config --libs --cflags openlibm
-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lopenlibm
% grep ^prefix /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/openlibm.pc
prefix=/usr/local
% dpkg -L libopenlibm-dev | grep /usr/local
% dpkg -L libopenlibm-dev | grep /usr/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenlibm.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/openlibm.pc
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenlibm.so

In short, the prefix in the pkg-config file (/usr/local) doesn't match
the actual location this package installs the files (/usr). So any
programs that link to this library cannot use pkg-config.
