Bug#1126726: libpnetcdf-dev: Build system paths leak into pnetcdf.pc

Show all headers | View raw

Package: libpnetcdf-dev
Version: 1.14.0-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: jonathan.brandmeyer@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

The pkg-config support file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/pnetcdf.pc leaks
some incorrect paths into the config.  In particular, it contains the following:

```
# prefix can be changed by "make install prefix=/path"
prefix=/build/reproducible-path/pnetcdf-1.14.0/debian/tmp//usr
# exec_prefix can be changed by "make install exec_prefix=/path"
exec_prefix=/build/reproducible-path/pnetcdf-1.14.0/debian/tmp//usr
```

Both prefix and exec_prefix should be set to /usr on the host's machine. As a
consequence of this leak,

```
$ pkg-config --cflags pnetcdf
-I/build/reproducible-path/pnetcdf-1.14.0/debian/tmp/usr/include
```

Programs which actively check the validity of this path, such as the Model for
Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) CMake-based build system produce an error.
