pkg-config and .pc files

Hi all,

When I run pkg-config --list-all, it gives me a warning saying it cannot
find oaf.pc which is needed by gconf.pc.
I "dpkg -S"'d for gconf.pc and saw it was in the gconf package. I was
filing a bug report for gconf requesting that gconf.pc should be in
libgconf-dev (since pkg-config is used for development) when I saw glib,
gdk, gthread and libxml-2.0 in the list, while I didn't installed
libgtk1.2-dev nor libxml-dev.

It leads to 2 points:
 · there is an inconsistancy in the packaging
 · should this be fixed by moving all the .pc files in the -dev packages
   or moving oaf.pc to liboaf0?

Anyway, thanks for providing GTK+ 1.3 packages!

Tom.
