Apparently the fix is not 100% correct:
The "Libs.private" field should be _after_ the Libs one in the .pc file,
otherwise the ordering of the libraries is not OK during liking:
-lcap-ng -laudit
it should be: -laudit -lcap-ng instead.
OK, I switched the order.
Also any reasons you are using Libs.private instead of
Package.private?
Libs.private is used to add flags for static linking. The dynamic linker
shouldn't need a hint since libaudit its already linked to libcap-ng.
Also, anyone packaging up audit 2.6.4 will want to include this patch:
