+Subject: [PATCH] pkgconfigdeps.sh: Unset cross-compilation PKG_CONFIG variables
+
+In OpenEmbedded/Yocto cross-compilation environments, several
+PKG_CONFIG_* environment variables are set to point pkg-config at the
+target sysroot for recipe builds:
+
+  PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=".../recipe-sysroot"
+  PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=".../recipe-sysroot/usr/lib/pkgconfig:..."
+  PKG_CONFIG_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH=".../recipe-sysroot/usr/include"
+  PKG_CONFIG_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH=".../recipe-sysroot/lib:..."
+
+These variables persist into the do_package_write_rpm task environment.
+When rpmbuild's internal dependency generator invokes pkgconfigdeps.sh,
+the script calls pkg-config --print-provides and --print-requires on .pc
+files located in the package buildroot directory (e.g.,
+.../package/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ogg.pc).
+
+With PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR set, pkg-config fails silently (exit 1, no
+output) when querying these .pc files because it attempts to validate
+paths with the sysroot prefix prepended, which doesn't match the
+buildroot location. This causes all pkgconfig(...) Provides and Requires
+to be missing from the generated RPMs.
+
+The result is do_rootfs failures like:
+  nothing provides pkgconfig(ogg) needed by flac-dev
+  nothing provides pkgconfig(libxml-2.0) needed by libcomps-dev
+  nothing provides pkgconfig(ncurses) needed by libreadline-dev
+
+Fix this by unsetting the cross-compilation PKG_CONFIG variables at the
+top of pkgconfigdeps.sh. The script already sets PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+explicitly to the directory containing the .pc file being scanned, so
+these external variables are not needed and only cause interference.
+
+This was not an issue with rpm 4.x because OE-core disabled the
+internal dependency generator entirely via:
+  --define '_use_internal_dependency_generator 0'
+  --define '__find_provides %{nil}'
+  --define '__find_requires %{nil}'
+
+rpm 6 no longer supports disabling the internal dependency generator
+for v6 format packages, making pkgconfigdeps.sh active for the first
+time in the OE cross-build environment.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [OE specific]
