Description

The gem red-arrow (via red_parquet) on debian fails to install after following the published instructions to install the dependent libarrow-dev and libarrow-glib-dev packages.

The build error is in the makefile creation stage in extconf
.pc doesn't exist: <thrift> (PackageConfig::NotFoundError)

Full error:

I have included a Dockefile (called Dockerfile.test) that recreates the issue and the log of the output from docker build -f Dockerfile.test .
