Also, just a disclaimer: 2.21.x is the unstable branch, and currently
undergoing quite some changes.

Hmm, no mention of xproto here. Implicit dep pulled in by libxft.pc?
Seems strangely familiar...

What does 'locate xproto.pc' return? In case your slocate database isn't

Also, what does 'locate xproto.h' return?

This one *should* contain xproto.pc...
