Description Michael Schwendt 2004-05-05 13:42:34 UTC 
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11
file /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11 is not owned by any package

$ rpm -q libgcrypt
libgcrypt-1.1.94-1

Also true for libgcrypt-1.2.0-1 in rawhide. Trivial patch attached.

Comment 2 Nalin Dahyabhai 2004-05-05 21:09:16 UTC 
The link is created and managed by ldconfig.  I'm inclined to let
ldconfig continue to handle it, so marking wontfix.
Comment 3 Cristian Gafton 2004-05-05 21:36:50 UTC 
teher could be a case made for having those files as %ghost...
Comment 4 Michael Schwendt 2004-05-05 22:17:23 UTC 
* Nalin, I do respect your decision, but it is a bad one, since not
including the link creates an inconsistency between what

  $ rpm -q --provides libgcrypt
  libgcrypt.so.11  

reports and what is included in the package actually. In particular,
this makes it difficult to check for damaged packages with "rpm -V"
(as what applications link against is not included in the package!)

* %ghost'ing the link would work, too, but would require more effort
at the spec file level.

* Btw, "rpm -qf /usr/lib/*.so.?" reveals that indeed the majority of
packages include these links.
