It does, but it doesn't touch that library. When your system has a library that a file in your package requires it'll get found and listed as a dependancy unless you tailor your dependancies manually or semi-manually. When rpmbuild does its auto dependancy solving on binaries, it is just running "ldd" to find out what libraries all of the executeables in the package needs. -Peter -- The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan.
