They serve the same purpose. They are > _generic_ package config files, and they do not belong in $libdir. That's not how it works. They export directories that are inherently arch-specific because they contain binaries. $libexecdir is arch-specific, some distros don't even use it and use $libdir instead, which is also arch specific. Arch-specific pkgconfig files belong in $libdir. With a multiarch approach you can have systemd installed for multiple architectures, e.g. to /usr/lib/${host} and to be able to compile other programs against it, the arch-specific pkgconfig files have to be in $libdir as well. There really isn't much of a "primary arch" in that case.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
