+
+We already have a libbsd.a from glibc. This package will cause software
+being linked with "-lbsd" to be linked against libbsd.so of libbsd
+package instead of libbsd.a of glibc.
+
+Why do we need this?
+
+We need to either rename or drop one of them (libbsd or libbsd.a from
+glibc), otherwise this will cause bad linking behavior.
+
+I raised this originally in my libbsd.spec review at
+https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/2012-April/014102.html
+
+I hope the other points in the above review have been addressed (haven't
+checked yet).
