Description of problem: With file 5.19: [notting@nostromo: ~/prog/rpms/gwenhywfar/x86_64]$ file /usr/lib64/libgwengui-gtk2.so /usr/lib64/libgwengui-gtk2.so: symbolic link to `libgwengui-gtk2.so.0.0.0' With file 5.22: (current F21 update, F22/F23 version) [notting@nostromo: ~/prog/rpms/gwenhywfar/x86_64]$ file /usr/lib64/libgwengui-gtk2.so /usr/lib64/libgwengui-gtk2.so: symbolic link to libgwengui-gtk2.so.0.0.0 libsymlink.attr: # Make libfoo.so symlinks require the soname-provide of the target library %__libsymlink_requires %{_rpmconfigdir}/elfdeps --provides --soname-only %__libsymlink_magic ^symbolic link to `.*lib.*\.so\..*'$ %__libsymlink_exclude_path ^.*[[:digit:]]$ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-rpm-config-27-1.fc21.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. build some package 2. look at deps of -devel package Actual results: .so links not resolved into dependencies Expected results: .so links resolved into dependencies Additional info:
Hm, I don't have test for symlinks in my File test-suite, so this change has not been catched by that. Do you want me to fix it on File side, or you will change the symbolic link magic in redhat-rpm-config? For Rawhide at least, redhat-rpm-config should be changed.
*** Bug 1215873 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Imo, per comment #1, in f21, since it was a 'file' behavior change, that's where the fix should be (for f21 at least) That said, fixing libsymlink.attr to handle the new output format for f22+ certainly makes sense... though it's a bit sad that since this has been broken for a couple of months, F22 will likely ship with many packages missing these symlink dependencies :(

I have fixed that in both F21 and F22. For rawhide, I'm keeping the upstream behaviour.
Moving bug back to assigned, so it is clear that there's action needed in rawhide.
Should be fixed in redhat-rpm-config-30-1.fc23.src.rpm
