Details

Description:
The file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libzstd.pc sets the prefix to /usr/local, but it should be set to /usr.
This breaks packages that depend on pkgconf.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 1.5.1-2
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
check the output of "pkgconf libzstd --libs"
This task depends upon

`PREFIX=/usr make` should solve the issue.

Change is required due to this pull request: https://github.com/facebook/zstd/pull/2659

Still broken in 1.5.2-1.

If the intended solution is to change the PKGBUILD file, are we still waiting for anything? According to this PR (https://github.com/facebook/zstd/pull/2912), which builds upon #2659, the changes have been merged into the dev branch, and should be already included in the release 1.5.2.

Or does CSalve mean that this is should be a non-issue from Arch Linux's standpoint and upstream should fix it?

And I can also confirm that the pkg-config information is still incorrect as of 1.5.2-1 as ptb has pointed out.

This is still busted and has the side effect that when trying to build against Apache Arrow (which depends on zstd), Arrow will fail to find libzstd because it is using the wrong package config information.

zstd-1.5.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is now in [testing].

After installing the testing version (zstd-1.5.2-3), pkgconfig is correct:

$ pkgconf libzstd --libs --keep-system-libs
-L/usr/lib -lzstd

$ pkgconf libzstd --variable=libdir
/usr/lib

$ pkgconf libzstd --variable=includedir
/usr/include

Fixed in 1.5.2-3 (testing).
Safe to move this to core repo, as it's only a minor change.

I use zstd for initrd compression by mkinitcpio and I have no issues with boot.
