It isn't clear to me whether the situation to be fixed is Mageia-specific or the inconsistency shows up also in Fedora, openSUSE, etc.
I thought it was about a small number of some peculiar libs, but it looks like it's a more generic issue.

I must admit I failed to understand your statement.

What's the difference between:
`libksane-devel` <<-- correct 64-bit name
and
`lib64djvulibre-devel` <<-- correct 64-bit name
?

Why not `lib64ksane-devel` ?
