Broken pkgconf files in Arch Linux

[p01arst0rm]

The pkgconf files for rapidcheck under arch are currently broken, linking to a non existent /build directory instead of a valid path.

This seems to be an ArchLinux specific packaging problem. The PKGBUILD script sets CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to $pkgdir/usr/. According to the ArchLinux CMake package guidelines, I would guess it should be -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr, though I'm not an experienced ArchLinux packager.

Created a bug report for ArchLinux.

The bug in ArchLinux is fixed here: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/rapidcheck/-/commit/963550513ea489a7ffffdd2af11d82e5c7705e42

I think the issue could be closed.
