There is a new pull request by tornaria against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/tornaria/void-packages python3-pkgconfig https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/35371 python3-pkgconfig: add depends to pkg-config Seems natural, since AFAICT python3-pkgconfig cannot be used without pkg-config. Not worth the revbump IMO. A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/35371.patch is attached
