[debian-mysql] Bug#852621: libmariadbclient-dev: lintian error: pkg-config-multi-arch-wrong-dir

[Julian Gilbey]

Package: libmariadbclient-dev
Version: 10.1.21-1

I spotted this when building mariadb-10.1:

E: libmariadbclient-dev: pkg-config-multi-arch-wrong-dir usr/share/pkgconfig/mariadb.pc full text contains architecture specific dir x86_64-linux-gnu

Lintian says this is Severity: important, Certainty: possible, with
the information:

Info: The arch all pkg-config file contains a reference to a multi-arch path.
 .
 This can be usually be fixed by moving this file to a multi-arch path.
 .
 Another likely cause is using debhelper 9 or newer (thus enabling
 multi-arch paths by default) on a package without multi-arch support.
 The usual cure in this case is to update it for multi-arch.
 .
 Last but not least, this file could contain a reference to a cross
 architecture (like for instance an x86_64-linux-gnu pkg-config file
 referencing an i386-linux-gnu file). In this case the usual cure is to
 fix this path.

Best wishes,
