• Bug#1102533: libqoauth-dev: installs qoauth.pc twice

    From Helmut Grohne@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 10 07:50:01 2025
    Package: libqoauth-dev
    Version: 2.0.1~1-3+b1

    libqoauth-dev installs both /usr/lib/pkgconfig/qoauth.pc and /usr/share/pkgconfig/qoauth.pc. Usually, every pkgconf package name
    should be provided by only one location. It doesn't seem to be really
    bad here, because their contents equal and therefore it does not
    practically matter which one is chosen, but this still is an odd
    practice and is better discontinued. libqoauth-dev is the only package
    in Debian that installs a .pc file twice.

    Also note that installing it to /usr/lib/<triplet>/pkgconfig would be
    even better, because otherwise pkgconfig --exists qoauth could
    erroneously return success when in fact libqoauth-dev is not installed
    for the architecture in question.
