Description of problem: Taxipilot contains /usr/lib/libEXT_wavpo.la file. It must be removed by packaging guidelines. Also, for some reason taxipilot.i386 is included to x86_64 repo. (Probably because of this issue, probably not). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): taxipilot-0.9.2
If that library is loaded by the KDE 3 plugin loader, then the .la file cannot be removed (a known ages-old bug in the KDE 3 plugin loader).
Kevin, that's what kdelibs3's kde-3.5-libtool-shlibext.patch is (supposedly) for (ie, out kdelibs3 is patched to try to avoid that).

Exactly, that is the reason why I've included them.

IIRC I tested without the .la files and it did not work.
Ok, I've just tested another program with the same issue, and libltdl still needs .la files, even the libtool2 libltdl, so I'm closing this as notabug.
Debian has patches for this stuff, the KDE patch pusling showed me looked fairly simple (and it's not the one we have now, which doesn't seem to work), they just replaced .la with .so in 2 places in kdelibs3.
They probably also have patches for libtool.
