In fact, I am positive there is a pkgconfig on my system.  But I
shouldn't have -- and don't want -- to remove it to get this to work.

I don't know; it seems to me to force inflexibility.  The packager may
not need to install everything because it knows some things are
already on the system.  Or someone might want to use -thirdskip and
trash one of the downloaded packages so the packager finds what's
already installed in the system.
