# strace pkg-config --list-all
open("/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/apbs.pc", O_RDONLY) = 3
Package file '' appears to be empty
Package 'apbs' has no Name: field
+++ exited with 1 +++


The file is totally empty; this is throwing the Ruby pkg-config parser off.

The buildsystem is a total abuse of autotools. I think I will try to completely fix it from scratch. Be prepared for help request :)
