Hi list,

with a recent rpmlint, there will be a new warning 'private-shared-object-provides'. This will always trigger a *.so file inside of %{python_sitearch} as a wrong dependency: """ A shared object soname provides is provided by a file in a path from which other packages should not directly load shared objects from. Such shared objects should thus not be depended on and they should not result in provides in the containing package. Get rid of the provides if appropriate, for example by filtering it out during build. Note that in some cases this may require disabling rpmbuild's internal dependency generator. """

Is there a easy way to fix the find-requires script, so this won't be emitted in next builds? The current workaround is to manually grep away the unwanted provides, but... it's a workaround.

This is now filled in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=619482

With a partly "fix".

While viewing the current find-requires script I found the file '/usr/lib/rpm/python.prov', which apparently doesn't exist yet. Is this on someone's TODO list? If not, maybe I'll have a look.

I'm working on this, I'll send another mail about this soon.
