If you had a look into the OpenSceneGraph package's sources (which you apparently didn't) you'd know that Fedora's OSG packages carries around a different implementation of pkgconfig files commented out. If I'd activate this, it would not help you much. You are wanting me to adopt Debian's proprietary and isolated solution. > His reason is that upstream did not provide one, so therefore it is > wrong for him to do so. Wrong, I do not add them, because upstream decided to abandon them. > Not only has Ralf upgraded to OSG 2.0 without any warnings whatsoever, This is not correct. 1. I explicitly asked and warned in advance, but you did not answer. 2. I explicitly asked if somebody wanted backward compatible packages, but you did not answer. > he also has not provided an OSG-1 compat package to help with these > dependency problems. I had offered to implement them, but you did not answer.

Your packages require the pkgconfig files, because these package's configure scripts carry bugs which prevent them from working without them. They expect OSG-1.2 compatibility and/or a Debian patched OSG-2. > What am I suppposed to do in this situation? Fix your packages, such they work without pkgconfig. I had offered you to help you, but you did not answer. Ralf -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
