 Package: libpam0g-dev 
 Version: 1.7.0-5 
 Severity: normal 
  
 Dear Sam, 
  
 I am working on a new package which uses meson build system and requires 
 libpam0g-dev. However the check fails with 
  
   ../meson.build:14:10: ERROR: Dependency lookup for pam with method 
 'pkgconfig' 
   failed: Could not generate cflags for pam: 
  
   Package audit was not found in the pkg-config search path. 
   Perhaps you should add the directory containing `audit.pc' 
   to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable 
   Package 'audit', required by 'pam', not found 
  
 Adding libaudit-dev as a build dependency fixes the build, but my source 
 doesn't 
 use libaudit itself, so that feels suboptimal. 
  
 I see pam.pc contains 
  
  Requires.private: audit 
  
 Does that mean that libpam0g-dev should Depends: libaudit-dev, or is this a 
 meson 
 issue? 
  
 Many thanks for your help. 
  
 Mark
