Description Felix Geyer 2010-05-23 15:25:10 PDT 
The following commands in WebCore/WebCore.pro can corrupt QtWebKit.pc:
lib_replace.match = $$DESTDIR
lib_replace.replace = $$[QT_INSTALL_LIBS]
QMAKE_PKGCONFIG_INSTALL_REPLACE += lib_replace

The problem is that .match/.replace doesn't replace plain strings but regular expressions.

If $$DESTDIR == "../lib", the resulting command is:
sed -e "s,../lib,/usr/lib,g" "../lib/pkgconfig/QtWebKit.pc" >"/build/buildd/qtwebkit-4.7~beta1/debian/tmp/usr/lib/pkgconfig/QtWebKit.pc"

"." matches any character so "libdir=${prefix}/lib" is being replaced by "libdir=${prefi/usr/lib".

I'm not sure why this path replacement is needed at all.
