The thing is that libbrotli *is* in Requires.private, and pkg-config still insists on it to exist. Current (buggy) version: $ cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc prefix=/usr exec_prefix=/usr libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu includedir=/usr/include Name: FreeType 2 URL: https://freetype.org Description: A free, high-quality, and portable font engine. Version: 23.2.17 Requires: Requires.private: zlib, libpng, libbrotlidec Libs: -L${libdir} -lfreetype Libs.private: Cflags: -I${includedir}/freetype2 $ _ As you can see, libbrotlidec is in Requires.private. Should pkgconfig skip this? /mjt
