 inkscape-devel. If you prefer to use a development version rather than a
 stable version, you can deactivate inkscape and install inkscape-devel.

 Agreed Ryan. Though with that being said, it's not clear why upstream is
 now installing a pkgconfig for `lib2geom` either. (Via `2geom.pc`.)

 Perhaps that's intentional, and it's now part of their official
 distribution. But certainly unexpected.

 Anyhow, I'll keep this ticket open to track that investigation, and report
 back once it's been done.
