BR2_PACKAGE_PKG_CONFIG -> BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGLIB2 -> BR2_PACKAGE_LIBINTL && BR2_PACKAGE_LIBICONV
So once you select PKG-CONFIG, the others are set and remain set even when you deselect PKG-CONFIG.

It is just one of the irritations of the select "feature" of Kconfig;
Kconfig doesn't have an "auto-selected by" marker to support an "auto-unselect";
that would unselect the selections that it had previously over-ridden.  ;)

Not fixable, we just have to learn to live with it and use "search" when something gets "locked on".

This dependency chain is wrong though, as far as I can see. pkg-config
comes with its own copy of glib-1.2.10. It doesn't need libglib2 and it
doesn't need libintl or iconv either.

Yes, you can either use the embedded glib copy or you can build with
--with-installed-glib. We do the latter for the target because the
embedded copy doesn't cross compile easily (and we already did the work
for the glib package).

It's a bit of extra bloat if you want pkg-config and not glib, but as
you only need pkg-config if you have an entire toolchain, adding glib as
well is probably not a big deal.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for pointing this out.
