Bug#474644: libffi4-dev Provides: libffi-dev, but does not appear to actually be compatible

reassign 474644 pygobject thanks libffi4-dev never had a pkgconfig file, and will not have one. either pygobject should tighten the b-d, or the configure check has to check for a libffi4-dev without a pkgconfig file. Nathaniel Smith writes: Package: libffi4-dev Version: 4.1.2-6 Severity:

Package: libffi4-dev Version: 4.1.2-6 Severity: normal I have python-gobject-dev installed; python-gobject-dev Depends: on libffi-dev. On my system, this dependency was satisfied by libffi4-dev, because libffi4-dev Provides: libffi-dev. However, this leaves me with a broken python-gobject-dev
