Where is this specification you keep talking about, and who wrote it? The specifications I can find are https://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/pkg-config-guide.html and "man 1 pkg-config". Neither of those mention a field named Provides. Is there disagreement about what the file format is? It could be very bad if multiple incompatible variants of .pc files would arise so that different libraries would require different pkg-config programs. Björn Persson
