Bug#1074773: qt5-qmake: unable to rebuild package xdrawchem, due to an error of qmake

[Georges Khaznadar <georgesk@debian.org>]

Package: qt5-qmake
Version: 5.15.13+dfsg-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I cannot currently rebuild the package xdrawchem, which uses qmake and
also the library libopenbabel-dev

A build log can be found at
https://salsa.debian.org/georgesk/xdrawchem/-/pipelines/691085

I could reproduce this bug with this minimal example:

--------------------------8<---------------------------
$ sudo cowbuilder login
...
root@georges:/# cd tmp
root@georges:/tmp# cat > foo.pro <<EOF
> TEMPLATE = app
> TARGET = foo
> CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
> PKGCONFIG += openbabel-3
> EOF
root@georges:/tmp# apt install libopenbabel-dev qt5-qmake libqt5core5t64
...
root@georges:/tmp# qmake -makefile
Info: creating stash file /tmp/.qmake.stash
Project ERROR: openbabel-3 development package not found
--------------------------8<---------------------------

The error message states that openbabel-3 is not there; however
the file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/openbabel-3.pc is around.

Thank you in advance if you can fix it.

Best regards,               Georges.
