Jim pointed me to this. I'll take a look. We have the pcfile because we
move some plugins downstream from -bad to -good, and this includes the
gstphotography library. We made it so that the -bad pcfile has Requires
on this new one, so that upstream software does not have to be modified.
This is a change that was done in good faith really, and I'm sorry it's
causing a problem here.

Title:
  gst-plugins-good pkg-config file issues

Status in “gst-plugins-good1.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Came across a small bug while trying to build the gst-rtsp-server-1.2.3. 
  Using Ubuntu 14.04, and  gst-plugins installed from the official ubuntu repositories. 
  While building, it tries to use the gstreamer-plugins-good-1.0.pc pkg-config file (which has pluginsdir missing). 
  1. If  libgstreamer-plugins-good1.0-dev_1.2.4-1~ubuntu1_i386.deb is removed (which removes the .pc file too), the rtsp-server builds fine. 
  2. Another fix will be to add the pluginsdir in the .pc file (The debian package should be modified ). After reading up a bit more, I came across this in gst-check.m4 "dnl Will set GST_PLUGINS_GOOD_DIR for use in Makefile.am. Note that this will dnl only be set in an uninstalled setup, since -good ships no .pc file and in dnl an installed setup all plugins will be found in GST_PLUGINS_DIR anyway." Hence there shouldn't be a .pc file for gst-plugins-good anyway.
