Comment (by ballapete):

 Replying to [comment:5 kencu]:
 > Can we sort out why your freetype pkgconfig file came out like it did?
 I'm not sure how it came to pass that your pkgconfig file for freetype was
 different than mine...

 The reason is clear: I saw that `configure` failed to determine that
 `bzip2` existed by means of a PC file, not seeing that it detected its
 existence by other means. So I created the PC file (#61365). When I
 discovered that it's not necessary I removed it – not taking into account
 that `Freetype` now was referring to this non-existent file and passing
 this to its consumers. I saw this finally when I invoked `pkg-config` with
 `--debug`.

 Sorry for this nonsense!
