I digged out that bugzilla and found the following mysterious issue with atlas-devel (not?) containing liblapack.so https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=214967#c51 | The atlas vs lapack issue is quite mysterious: | | # repoquery -q --whatprovides /usr/lib64/liblapack.so | Importing additional filelist information | atlas-devel-0:3.6.0-11.fc6.x86_64 | lapack-devel-0:3.1.1-1.fc6.x86_64 | # rpm -q atlas-devel | atlas-devel-3.6.0-11.fc6 | # rpm -ql atlas-devel | grep liblapack.so$ | /usr/lib64/atlas/liblapack.so | # rpm -q atlas-devel --provides | atlas-devel = 3.6.0-11.fc6 | | So repoquery (and therefore also yum/mock) think atlas-devel contains | %{_libdir}/liblapack.so while in reality it does not? I haven't looked at the | atlas specfile, but the situation above should not be possible to happen. | | Why is repoquery fooled that atlas-devel contains %{_libdir}/liblapack.so?
