Suddenly your search scope is > unbounded again. Not really unbounded. If a package puts a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ then the library is now available system-wide, so it should be searched by autorequires/autoprovides. Basically the rule should be, if a package provides something in the global name space (.so, perl module, etc.) then the RPM package should auto-Provide it. If it is kept in a private namespace (not searched by ld.so, not in perl module path, etc.) then it shouldn't add an auto-Provide. > Really we just need the moral equivalent of %exclude for autoreqprovs. That would still require manual packager intervention. It would be good to have, but I would argue that fixing the automatic stuff would be better. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
