Bug#669355: Uses wrong pkg-config for dbus test when cross-building

Source: consolekit
Version: 0.4.5-3
Severity: normal
User: crossbuild@debian.org
Usertags: cross

consolekit can't find dbus-1 when cross-building:

From the build log:

Package dbus-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing dbus-1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'dbus-1' found
Error: Couldn't determine the version of your DBUS package.

This turns out to be because a local test in configure.ac used
hard-coded 'pkg-config' instead of $PKG_CONFIG which autoconf has set
to the correct path (/usr/bin/<triplet>-pkg-config when cross-building)

patch attached. This should be upstreamed.

(Note that this patch does not solve all the issues of cross-building
this package using multiarch mechanisms - there are other issues which
will be reported separately).

+Description: Ensure cross-pkg-config is used when cross-building
+ When cross-building pkg-config should use <triplet>-pkg-config in
+ order to search the correct paths. Autoconf already knows this and
+ does it right. This patch ensures that local autoconf extra do it
+ right by using $PKG_CONFIG instead of 'pkg-config'.
