filesystem for what is or is not there. It only looks at the rpm
database. If the file isn't installed by rpm then rpm won't be able to
know about it.
Actually rpm-5.0 has a runtime probe dependency to solve exactly
this type of problem of mixing package and unpackaged libraries:
Requires: soname(/path/to/library) =
Y.so.s1
if you want a solution in packaging.
There are several other means to supply sonames-not-from-packages
to rpmlib as well, including
mkdir -p /etc/rpm/sysinfo
echo "Y.so.s1" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Providename
