Description Colin Walters 2024-06-10 18:47:56 UTC 
I was debugging this:

```
$ cargo check
cargo: error while loading shared libraries: libssh2.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$
```

And was pretty confused how this could happen.  Turns out:

```
$ rpm -q --whatprovides 'libssh2.so.1()(64bit)'
julia-1.11.0-8.beta1.fc40.x86_64
```

Which is definitely wrong.  It looks like there's a bunch of vendored .so libraries built into `/usr/lib64/julia`.  (Are you *sure* all of those need to be vendored?)

Now there's definitely an rpm mis-feature here where it happily adds Provides for things not actually in the public linker paths.  Here's a bit where we fixed a similar thing in rpm-ostree long ago:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rpm-ostree/c/db3835a322daa5a0cb352ed3264b114d29d5cda6?branch=rawhide

(Although since then we switched to statically linking which avoids this entirely)

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Fabio Valentini 2024-06-10 19:01:07 UTC 
Julia seems to bundle a *lot* of things.

The fact that these commits are only on the f40 branch but not on the rawhide branch is also kind of suspicious.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/julia/blob/f40/f/sources

Looking at the Provides from the build that has been unpushed from f40-testing by now, this is definitely not handled correctly.

As built from the tip of the f40 branch, julia provided shared libraries for

- libcurl.so.4
- libgmp.so.10
- libgmpxx.so.4
- libmbedcrypto.so.7
- libmbedtls.so.14
- libmbedx509.so.1
- libssh2.so.1

All of these Provides MUST be filtered out. (And whether it's a good idea to bundle crypto libraries is a good idea at all is a separate topic.)
