Package: pcp Version: 6.0.5-1 Severity: important Tags: patch The binary package pcp ships an empty /usr/lib/pkgconfig. Since we implemented the /usr-merge using aliasing, this directory is prone to loss.
As I see it, pcp is split into a number of packages some of which contain files below /usr/lib/pkgconfig. The existence of that empty directory is an artifact of how the package is being split and not required for operation (as it is normally "owned" by pkg-config). As such, we can delete it from pcp without loss of functionality (and in the packages shipping .pc files it is non-empty). Since we cannot loose something that does not exist, the original problem is solved. Do you agree? I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Helmut
