Hi Kari,

I noticed that while the actual library is in

   /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtpl.so

the pkg-config file is

   /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libtpl.pc

while it should rather be

   /usr/lib/*/pkgconfig/libtpl.pc

to enable cross compilation.

If you give permission to migrate the package to some Git repository on
Salsa (probably Debian team) I volunteer to fix this in Git.  I could
even do a team upload of Debian Commons team[1] if you agree that this
is a sensible Maintainer for this package.

What do you think?

Kind regards
   Andreas.
