[Python-modules-team] Bug#892436: pygame: Please use 'pkg-config' to find FreeType 2

[hugh.mcmaster at outlook.com]

Source: pygame
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The next release of libfreetype6-dev will *not* ship
`freetype-config', as the script has now been deprecated in favour of
`pkg-config'.

This is an upstream change:

"Use of the `freetype-config' script to get compilation and

linking options is deprecated since it doesn't support

cross-compiling, among other deficiencies. Instead, you should

use the `pkg-config' interface." [1]

Please use `pkg-config' to detect the FreeType 2 headers and
libraries in pygame.

If this bug is not resolved prior to the release of FreeType 2.9.1,
your package may FTBFS.

Thank you
