Bug Description

[Impact]

`pkg-config --libs OpenIPMIpthread` fails with:

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

[Test Case]

Run `pkg-config --libs OpenIPMIpthread`, which will return an error in an unfixed case and will return

-lOpenIPMIpthread -lOpenIPMIutils -lOpenIPMI

in a fixed case.

[Regression risk]

This is a backport of the fix applied in Yakkety, which in turn is a forward-port of the fix applied in Debian. I believe the regression risk to be low, as we are updating the pkg-config file to reflect the Ubuntu/Debian configuration.

but instead you get:

This is an issue known back in 2008, with a WORKING fix: http://sourceforge.net/p/openipmi/feature-requests/5/

Stumbled upon this problem over a year ago while trying to compile collectd, it's definitely problem with the file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/OpenIPMIpthread.pc

Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04
libopenipmi-dev 2.0.18-0ubuntu7
