Comment 11 for bug 715257

It's not necessary anymore in this case, but for future reference: If it's not a distribution-issue but an upstream change in the library that causes these kinds of problems (as in this case with the .pc file rename), it would be nice to notify upstream of the library user (i.e. Claws Mail) instead of or in addition to fixing it in the distribution. This affects every consumer, not just Ubuntu.

On a related note, it would be nice if libindicate would provide Release Notes when doing backwards-incompatible changes. Not being a user of indicators myself, all I can do now is either review all changes in the 0.5 branch to see if I can safely support the new version (that's not gonna happen), or just support it and wait for bug reports in case it turns out to be incompatible.
