Looking at the wcstools spec file and the patches it looks like upstream is building libwcs.a. You've got local patches to build a dynamic libwcs.so. Changing the library SONAME downstream (in Fedora) instead of upstream (in wcstools or libwcs) is the wrong thing to do. Other tools that build against these libraries are going to be confused. Other distributions could choose to have different library names. Doing this as a Fedora-local change is not right. Please start by asking upstream to change the name of their library (Either wcstools or libwcs or both). If that fails then we can contact the other distributions (by using distributions-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) to try to work out the best renames that we can do across distributions to resolve this. -Toshio
