Description Stepan Kasal 2007-08-08 19:46:34 UTC 
In tcl-8.4.15-1.fc8, libtcl8.4.so contains no SONAME record.  Run
  objdump -p /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so | grep SONAME
to verify this.

This implies that incorrect library name will be recorded in the NEEDED fiels of
 executables linked against this library.
The library is typically found through the symlink /usr/lib/libtcl.so, thus the
resulting binary has "NEEDED libtcl.so".
This info is picked by find-provides, so one of the symptoms is a broken require
in the resulting rpm.
See http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-August/msg00471.html
for an example.
