Steev, Diego, this is wrong. pkg-config has its own glib because glib needs pkg-config. You've just created a circular dep.

And by the way, the pkgconfig package now deps on pkgconfig ... please tell me how this is not going to bite us in the a** later on.

Cheers :)

Oh, and btw, pkg-config includes a copy of glib-1.2.10 FWIW.

Not saying this is going to be easy ;) but at least having a reference bug helps..

This is something that will NOT be fixed as the copy is justified and it is only a copy of the subset that actually gets used.

This is actually fixed by pkg-config-0.26 now, switching to 'FIXED'
