+Tag: wrong-pkgconfig-file-in-multi-arch-same-package +Severity: normal +Certainty: possible +Ref: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec +Info: The package is marked as Multi-Arch: same, but it includes a pkgconfig + .pc file in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. The .pc file should be installed in + /usr/lib/(triplet)/pkgconfig.
Only if the .pc file actually vary with architecture (they usually do, but not always). Otherwise it's perfectly fine to keep the file in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/. For example, if I ran the check on all packages of today's unstable, I'd get 3 false-positives and one true-positive. Not very impressive numbers, if you ask me. :)
