Bug Description

In a fresh Karmic installation it is possible to get to the point where one has no broken packages but pkg-config fails with the message "Package libdrm was not found in the pkg-config search path...".

This is due to /usr/lib/pkgconfig/dri.pc, installed by mesa-common-dev, having the line

Requires.private: libdrm >= 2.4.3

but mesa-common-dev does not depend on libdrm-dev, which is the package that installs /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libdrm.pc. Thus mesa-common-dev needs to depend on libdrm.dev.

For future reference, the only user of dri.pc is xorg-server which does already require libdrm-dev as a build dep. The only time this could be an issue is someone tried to build xserver 1.7+ without installing its build deps first.

Actually it seems to be an issue in other scenarios as well: I couldn't get pkg-config to give me cflags or libs for one specific library, even though that library's dependencies were fully satisfied, and I was mystified until I tried running "pkg-config --list-all" and saw the error message pertaining to a missing drm.pc. After installing libdrm-dev, everything worked fine. So this can affect other people as well. Besides, at the end of the day, isn't this still a broken package that should get fixed?

Hmm. I would think that if this was really needed, debian would have included it in their deps. I'll include this, but can I ask that you also approach Debian with this patch and see if it can be included in their package as well?
