OK, so this is happending:

[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">root at jimmy</A> ~]# urpmi &quot;pkgconfig(libreport-web)&quot;
A requested package cannot be installed:
lib64report-web-devel-2.0.19-1.mga3.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied
devel(libxmlrpc_client(64bit)))
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n)


It turns out that &quot;devel(libxmlrpc_client(64bit)))&quot; is not provided by
lib64xmlrpc-c-devel. Looking closer this is because when building that
package, objdump does not recognise the file file format and thus
doesn't add provides. Looking closer it appears the files are txt not
symlinks:

[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">colin at jimmy</A> xmlrpc-c]$ cat /usr/lib64/libxmlrpc_server.so
/* GNU ld script */
INPUT(/usr/lib64/libxmlrpc_server.so.3
AS_NEEDED(/usr/lib64/libxmlrpc.so.3 /usr/lib64/libxmlrpc_util.so.3))


So the question is, should they just be fixed to be symlinks or should
we teach the rpm script the ability to extract info from these these GNU
ld scripts?
