If a program in /usr/bin requires something in a private, non-system directory that is provided by a different package, then the provides/requires need to express that somehow, perhaps by using a full path in the provides. Until that becomes possible, I'm inclined to say that AutoReq/Prov shouldn't be searching private directories, and we should require all packages that have such requirements to use manual Requires: on either the file path or the package that provides the private library. Keeping things the way they are now is just plain broken. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
