Description of problem: # rpmlint Coin2-devel Coin2-devel.i386: E: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 0 warnings. # rpm -ql Coin2-devel | grep /usr/lib /usr/lib/Coin2 /usr/lib/Coin2/conf /usr/lib/Coin2/conf/coin-default.cfg /usr/lib/libCoin.so /usr/lib/pkgconfig/Coin.pc Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmlint-0.85-2.fc10.noarch Expected results: No warning. Additional info: IMO, this check in rpmlint is based on invalid assumptions. Rationale: The fact /usr/lib* doesn't contain any binary is not at all co-related to whether something inside is arch-dependent or not. I.e. the asssumptions/basic considerations this check is based on are wrong. This check will never reach full functionality. I recommend to remove this check. Further: The fact it is an "E:" (error) definitely is a bug. If this check should be kept at all, this alert's severity should be weakend.
Downgraded to a warning and made false positives less likely upstream, will most likely be included in 0.86: http://rpmlint.zarb.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/changeset/1545 http://rpmlint.zarb.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/changeset/1546
(In reply to comment #1) > Downgraded to a warning and made false positives less likely upstream, Well, at least something :) However, I have to reiterate: This check is a flawed design. It will never work and should be removed.
Yes, it is flawed. However I think it has its corner case uses and don't think removing it would be an improvement as long as it doesn't produce disturbing numbers of false positives, and thus have no plans to remove it until something better is available.

This appears to be back in rpmlint-1.5-1.fc18.noarch: # rpm -ql libNX_ICE-devel /usr/include/nx/X11 /usr/include/nx/X11/ICE /usr/include/nx/X11/ICE/ICE.h /usr/include/nx/X11/ICE/ICEconn.h /usr/include/nx/X11/ICE/ICElib.h /usr/include/nx/X11/ICE/ICEmsg.h /usr/include/nx/X11/ICE/ICEproto.h /usr/include/nx/X11/ICE/ICEutil.h /usr/lib64/nx/X11 /usr/lib64/nx/X11/libNX_ICE.so # rpmlint libNX_ICE-devel libNX_ICE-devel.x86_64: W: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib
It's not "back", it's still just the way it has been 4+ years now. See earlier comments here, especially comment 3. It's possible to get rid of the message by rpmlint configuration: using the UsrLibBinaryException config var, or just filtering it out with addFilter.
I'm seeing this with systemd unit files: cachefilesd.x86_64: W: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib There are only non binary files in /usr/lib so they should be in /usr/share. on /usr/lib/systemd/system/cachefilesd.service
