As a hopefully LFS unexperienced builder, I have tried to just make a
symbolic link named 'webkit2gtk' pointing to 'webkitgtk-6.0.pc'. No
success. A simple symbolic link does not meet the requirement!

Douglas Reno said that I will need to build the GTK-3 version of WebKitGTK.
It makes sense to me. My doubt is: should I delete the WebKitGTK
construction directory and start over inside a fresh uncompressed directory
(default proceeding of the BLFS book) or am I authorized to rebuild inside
the same construction directory? A fresh construction directory means to
construct the whole package again from scratch.

Another doubt: I have accepted the advice in the BLFS book and installed
the 2.50.4 version of the WebKitGTK (newer version than that one in the
stable BLFS). How can I maintain the information of that newer version in
the database of packages? I ask this because I have an external package
(rclone) installed. I have followed the instructions (include an empty file
inside '/var/lib/jhalfs/BLFS/'). It worked for the first time, however a
second time I ran the 'update-installed.sh' script, the database was
rebuilt without the information related to rclone. Is it adequate to change
the 'packages.xml' and include the 'rclone' information there? Is there
another way?

Thank you very much!
