I recall past discussions about whether these were problematic but I never recall seeing any mandate that they be filtered. Frankly, these are so incredibly common that I really think it's completely counterproductive to require packagers to go out of their way to fix broken dependency generation. Why not fix the dependency generator instead? All it needs to do to fix up most of the issues is not look outside the standard library paths. For those rather few packages which add to the regular ldconfig search path, they can either add dependencies manually or can be provided with some way to add directories that the dependency generator will search. It could even look for files contained in the package which will be placed in /etc/ld.so.conf.d and automatically generate dependencies for them. - J< -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
