  [Original Report]

  
  consolekit can't find dbus-1 when cross-building:

  From the build log: http://people.linaro.org/~wookey/buildd/precise/sbuild-ma/consolekit_0.4.5-2-precise-ma-cross-armel-20120417-025041.38177.log
  Package dbus-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `dbus-1.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'dbus-1' found
  Error: Couldn't determine the version of your DBUS package.

  This turns out to be because a local test in configure.ac used hard-
  coded 'pkg-config' instead of $PKG_CONFIG which autoconf has set to
  the correct path (/usr/bin/<triplet>-pkg-config)

  (This patch is not sufficient to cross-build this package which has
  other issues).
