Details

The libgtkhtml package includes /opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig/libgtkhtml-2.0.pc, but it does not depend directly or indirectly on gnome-common, which creates that path with /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh. On a gnome-less system, the result is that libgtkhtml installs correctly according to pacman, but does not exist according to pkg-config.

Here's an example: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=23644

I suppose the simplest solution is to make the lib depend on gnome-common, but in the longer term maybe separating the gnome and gtk paths would be worth thinking about, as is done with kde and qt.

Just a thought.

This is related to the libgnomecanvas package moving to current where it was repackaged in /usr. The package that should have a dependency on gnome-common here is gail, but looking at the files it installs, that one goes to /usr aswell, as it's nothing more than a GTK extension.
