sage-location doesn't deal with packages after initialize_pkgconfig_files has run

[sagetrac-mariah]

sage-4.7.2 with optional package libogg-1.1.4.spkg installed.
Now when I move the sage tree I get:

eno% ./sage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 4.7.2, Release Date: 2011-10-29                       |

The Sage installation tree may have moved

Changing various hardcoded paths...
(Please wait at most a few minutes.)
DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS.

The patch here appears to fix the problem, but I notice that the ogg.pc file looks a little different from all the others:

drake@sagenb:~/s/y5.1.b0/local/lib/pkgconfig$ grep ^prefix= *
bdw-gc.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
freetype2.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
gnutls-extra.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
gnutls.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
gsl.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
libpng12.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
libpng.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
m4ri.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
ogg.pc:prefix=/home/drake/s/5.1b0/local
opencdk.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
pynac.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
python-2.7.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
python.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
sqlite3.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local
zlib.pc:prefix=${SAGE_ROOT}/local

Observe that only ogg.pc has the original SAGE_ROOT in its prefix; all other files have prefix in terms of SAGE_ROOT. Is that what we want? Is that okay?

After installing the patch, did you move the Sage directory and start it?

Replying to @mwhansen:

I did. And the relocation appears to work properly. I'm mostly just curious about the difference in the .pc file.

I can confirm this problem, and that this patch fixes it, and the patch seems right, just abstracting out something.

But Dan and I agree that

        config = config.replace(SAGE_ROOT_absolute, "${SAGE_ROOT}")

seems to not be happening here for some reason. But maybe we are parsing it wrong.

The new patch, which applies on top of the previous one, should (really!) fix this issue.
