Description Moses Miller 2017-05-14 21:56:27 UTC 
A certain package called qt5-webkit-ng in my Linux distribution ships a broken pkg-config file (https://ptpb.pw/j--R) which is missing the Description field, which *should* make `pkg-config --list-all` fail with an error or skip over that one package. However, when `pkg-config --list-all` is executed without the --debug argument, it fails silently, printing nothing to stderr or stdout. 

Here is the output from `pkg-config --list-all --debug`: https://ptpb.pw/A78f
