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.
"system-wide" includes paths mentioned in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*, which are
files provided by other packages. Suddenly your search scope is
unbounded again.
Thought: Define "system library directories" to a sane default set.
Start with this.
For each package, when doing autoprovides calculation, recurse down the
tree of rpms needed by this package. For any that change
/etc/ld.so.conf.d, add the appropriate directory to the set of "system
library directories". Now see if the rpm installs any libraries into
those locations. If so, those are autoprovides.
Sound sane?
