I received an email with:package: hping3 - 0.0.20051105-5.fc7.i386 from fedora-extras-development-i386 unresolved deps: libtcl8.4.soThis has never before been an issue. In fact, according to the guidelines at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Requires I am not supposed to manually add libraries, as rpm should pick them up per default. Hence, my package only includes a BuildRequires: tcl-devel and not a Requires: tcl. Did this behaviour change, or is the above script hit a false positive?
No, the behavior did not change, and the above script did not hit a false positive.
Recently the version of Tcl was upgraded from 8.4 to 8.5. This came with a corresponding name change for the .so: libtcl8.4.so is no longer available, but libtcl8.5.so is.
To fix, you just need to bump the release and rebuild your package. The rebuild will find the new libtcl8.5.so and set the requirement appropriately.
