Package: libpam0g-dev
Version: 1.7.0-5
Severity: normal
Dear Sam,
I am working on a new package which uses meson build system and requires
libpam0g-dev. However the check fails with
../meson.build:14:10: ERROR: Dependency lookup for pam with method 'pkgconfig'
failed: Could not generate cflags for pam:
Package audit was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `audit.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'audit', required by 'pam', not found
Adding libaudit-dev as a build dependency fixes the build, but my source doesn't
use libaudit itself, so that feels suboptimal.
I see pam.pc contains
Requires.private: audit
Does that mean that libpam0g-dev should Depends: libaudit-dev, or is this a
meson
issue?
Many thanks for your help.
Mark

.
[ Simon Chopin ]
* d/p/031_pam_include: fix loading from /usr/lib/pam.d (launchpad bug
2087827)
.
[ Sam Hartman ]
* I have merged in the fix to pam_include on /usr/lib/pam.d. However as
discussed, it was never my intent to support /usr/lib/pam.d on
Debian. This is merged as an emergency and potentially temporary work
around for #1140029. I am leaving that bug open to block this version
of pam from testing until I figure out what the long-term solution
is. It likely involves logging an error whenever /usr/lib/pam.d is
used.
