Public bug reported: I am not sure if this is an epics-dev problem or a pkgcon/pkg-config issue, but since pkg-config works fine for other packages, I assumed the former.
I have installed epics-dev. It contains the epics-base.pc and the epics- base-linux-x86_64.pc files, yet pkg-config (or pgkcon) cannot find it: jgeorg @jgeorg-ubuntu2404 /usr/share $ dpkg -l | grep epics ii epics-dev 7.0.7+dfsg1-5 amd64 EPICS header files jgeorg @jgeorg-ubuntu2404 /usr/share $ dpkg -L epics-dev | grep pc$ /usr/share/pkg-config/epics-base-linux-x86_64.pc /usr/share/pkg-config/epics-base.pc jgeorg @jgeorg-ubuntu2404 /usr/share $ pkg-config --modversion epics-base Package epics-base was not found in the pkg-config search path.
