No other packages depend on it: $ repoquery --alldeps --whatrequires mygui mygui-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.i686 mygui-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64 mygui-demos-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64 mygui-devel-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.i686 mygui-devel-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64 mygui-tools-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64 Actually, to have the run-time linker find libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so in %_libdir/MYGUI/, the package adds a file in /etc/ld.so.conf/. Rather pointless, because then it could be stored directly in %_libdir instead. Currently, the reinstalled -demos and -tools seem to work, too, so the problems with unowned dirs are minor. On F-15, libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so is duplicated, as it is included also in mygui-devel ... directly in %_libdir. ;) -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
