Description
A certain package called qt5-webkit-ng in my Linux distribution ships a broken pkg-config file (https://ptpb.pw/j--R) which is missing the Description field, which should make pkg-config --list-all
fail with an error or skip over that one package. However, when pkg-config --list-all
is executed without the --debug argument, it fails silently, printing nothing to stderr or stdout.
Here is the output from pkg-config --list-all --debug
