Description:

So this is a PSA not an issue for Archlinux directly.

Currently, this package generates a faulty rdkafka.pc that erroneously depends on a
'curl' pkgconf module, rather than the correct 'libcurl'.

I've opened an issue with the upstream here: https://github.com/confluentinc/librdkafka/issues/4155
And my original investigation is tracked here: https://github.com/bazaah/aur-ceph/issues/11

Until this is fixed, anything depending on rdkafka and using pkgconf (e.g cmake's FindPkgConfig [1] module)

Additional info:

* package version(s)
v2.0.0+

* config and/or log files etc.
Output of pkgconf when searching for rdkafka:

> Package curl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
> Perhaps you should add the directory containing `curl.pc'
> to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
> Package 'curl', required by 'rdkafka', not found

* link to upstream bug report, if any
https://github.com/confluentinc/librdkafka/issues/4155

Steps to reproduce:
1. pacman -Sy --needed --noconfirm pkgconf librdkafka
2. pkg-config --print-requires --print-variables --modversion rdkafka
