I find that being a bit more explicit when specifying the files ina package is a great way to catch so bumps. In your case, you could do the following: diff --git a/protobuf.spec b/protobuf.spec index 46ae034..8903fd2 100644 --- a/protobuf.spec +++ b/protobuf.spec @@ -275,7 +275,7 @@ %files compiler %defattr(-, root, root, -) %{_bindir}/protoc -%{_libdir}/libprotoc.so.* +%{_libdir}/libprotoc.so.8* %doc COPYING.txt README.txt %files devel If the .so gets bumped again, the build will fail, which will allow you to be much more proactive in dealing with dependency breaks. Hope that helps. -- Mathieu -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
