Yep. otherwise a simple INSTALLS_PKGCONFIG=3Dyes would do the trick,=20 although it seems like we would only exchange a single line in pkg-plist with one in the Makefile in this case. >> OTOH you seem to selectively ignore the other samples given, which = does >> not seem very wise to me either.

I submitted the PR in the hope of starting a more technically oriented discussion, like getting some examples of breakage when this dependency would be removed. I'm a little disappointed of the lack of real = arguments in this thread. Most of my questions remain unanswered, like whether you believe devel/valgrind, devel/pcsc-lite, print/freetype2, graphics/png, www/neon, www/openvrml, x11/XFree86-4-libraries and x11-toolkits/qt33 should run-depend on pkgconfig too. -Oliver
