https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1476434 --- Comment #16 from Michael Schwendt <bugs.michael@xxxxxxx> --- > libbstrsafe.so.1.0.0 -> libbstrsafe.so.1.0.0 That is evidence of a wrong and highly problematic SONAME. Let's see: eu-readelf -d libbstrsafe.so.1.0.0 |grep SONAME SONAME Library soname: [libbstrsafe.so.1.0.0] Indeed. It contains the full version, and the symlinks you create are superfluous and will be useless, because nothing will use them. Programs linked with bstrlib will depend on the exact SONAME. You can query the automatic RPM SONAME Provides by examining the built packages, too: $ rpm -qp --provides bstrlib-1.0.0-1.fc27.2.x86_64.rpm |grep ^lib libbstr.so.1.0.0()(64bit) libbstrc++.so.1.0.0()(64bit) libbstrsafe.so.1.0.0()(64bit) Any time there would be a minor version upgrade, all programs would need to be rebuilt to relink them. That is bad for a lib that is declared as "stable". The SONAMEs ought to end with just the major version. This is an example of a package, which seems to be simple, but even a library package can be full of pitfalls. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
