Hi,

to be exact: the problem appeared while trying to install htslib which is a prequisite for the perl package.
I copied the missing file from a SLES 12 SP4 to the Ubuntu host and adapted it:

root at vm53200-16:/home/crispor/htslib-1.10.2# cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/bzip2.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
bindir=/usr/bin
libdir=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
includedir=/usr/include

Name: bzip2
Description: Lossless, block-sorting data compression
Version: 1.0.5
Libs: -L${libdir} -lbz2
Cflags: -I${includedir}

Surely not the cleanest way ... but it worked
