   Bug#1126924: liblowdown-dev: missing dep   
   13 Feb 26 08:40:01

   Hi,   
      
   Upstream here.   
      
   In pkgconf 2 and later, the solver behavior is stricter: all pkg-config   
   dependencies must be satisfiable unless they are placed in   
   Requires.internal.  Dependency nodes that are on the Requires.internal   
   list are allowed to be missing if the query type does not require them   
   for linking.   
      
   To be explicitly clear: pkg-config implementations have *always*   
   required the Requires.private dependency nodes to be satisfiable for   
   --cflags queries.  Unfortunately, the calculated solution depending on   
   query type (e.g. whether --libs is present) caused other problems for a   
   long time, so we normalized the behavior with the new solver in pkgconf 2.   
      
   This is an intentional change and in fact, this very bug highlights the   
   whole point of this change: to ensure that package dependencies are   
   fixed so that --cflags, --libs and --static queries result in a   
   consistent solution (with the caveat that Requires.internal nodes are   
   weak constraints), ensuring that users have all of the build   
   dependencies they actually need to build software.   
      
   Please revert the changes in 2.5.1-3 and use this information to fix   
   Debian -dev packages so they have more correct dependency information.
