[syslog-ng] syslog-ng 2.1: upstream libdbi does NOT provide pkgconfig .pc file

[Wolfram Schlich]

Hi,

syslog-ng 2.1 depends on libdbi >= 0.8.0 with --enable-sql.
Unfortunately, it assumes that a pkg-config .pc file for
libdbi is in place which the upstream libdbi just does
not include. It seems that there is a balabit-modified
version of libdbi available (libdbi8_0.8.2bb2-2.tar.gz)
which was patched to include a dbi-0.8.pc file.

What's the reason for that?
Was upstream asked to include that .pc file in their
regular releases?

What other changes were made to the upstream libdbi
to form the balabit version?

This is kinda maintenance and dependency hell so far :(

Please clear up the situation so I can take care
of building a Gentoo package for 2.1 *including*
SQL support :)

Thanks!
