Yes I care. I ran into somthing similar for perl modules. Packages shouldn't provide 'perl(foo)' unless those modules are in perl's default module path. It clearly breaks programs when a perl module in a private directory satisfies an rpm dependency for another package. > b) if we care do we want to > b.1) make every package that has some shared libraries in it that are > not in the default linker path make manual filters to exclude the > provides/requires ? (oh, the pain) That is what I had to do in the case of a perl program I'm packaging. There are even Fedora guidelines on how to do this for perl. > b.2) extend the autorequires/autoprovides in some (handwaves) way to > better indicate the desired match I like this idea better. AutoReq/Prov should only search system-wide deafult search paths for .so's, perl modules, and any other such objects that it supports. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
