Package: libswe-dev Version: 2.10.03-3 Severity: important Tags: patch libswe-dev installs an empty directory /usr/lib/pkgconfig. This directory is prone to loss due to us having implemented the /usr-merge using aliasing.
libswe-dev was converted to multiarch and now ships its .pc file in /usr/lib/<triplet>/pkgconfig. The empty directory is an artifact of an incomplete conversion and can be deleted without loss of functionality. What does not exist cannot be lost, so that solves the issue at hand. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Helmut
