The -devel is a sub-package, *but* it doesn't contain any library. It contains only a symbolic link to a file contained within the main package. A symlink only to be used during compile-time. The paragraph you quoted refers to real library files which shall enter the dynamic linker's search cache. I recommend the paragraph is rewritten: "MUST: Every binary RPM package, which stores shared library files (and not just symbolic links) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in %post and %postun. > In this case, there is a versioned .so[1] present in the main package, > with an unversioned library in -devel, per guidelines.

The symlink is included in the -devel package. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
