Title:         To much symlinks in -devel package
Ticket ID:     #147
Package:       ncurses-5.2-25
Distribution:  PLD-Ra.main
Category:      unknown
Current state: opened
Text:

# rpm -ql ncurses-devel | grep lib
/usr/lib/libcurses.so
/usr/lib/libform.so
/usr/lib/libform.so.5
/usr/lib/libform.so.5.2
/usr/lib/libmenu.so
/usr/lib/libmenu.so.5
/usr/lib/libmenu.so.5.2
/usr/lib/libncurses.so
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5
/usr/lib/libpanel.so
/usr/lib/libpanel.so.5
/usr/lib/libpanel.so.5.2
/usr/lib/libtinfo.so
/usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5

Only lib*.so should be in *.devel package. lib*.so.[0-9].* should be in packages providing those libraries and lib*.so.[0-9] are generated automatically by ldcofing.

Putting all these in -devel package makes mess like this:

poldek> search -p /^libpanel.so.5$/
2 package(s) found:
ncurses-devel-5.2-25
ncurses-ext-5.2-25

Of course, only "ncurses-ext" provides this packages.

PS. Thanks to poldek, which asked me if I want to install ncurses-devel or ncurses-ext :-)
