Hello,
I have a shared library package named libmupen64plus2 (based on its soname libmupen64plus.so.2) and an accompanying development package with the headers and documentation named libmupen64plus-devel (following the shlibs packaging policy). The latter explicitly requires the former (it has a Requires: libmupen64plus2 = %{version}). Yet rpmlint now complains with libmupen64plus-devel.i586: W: no-dependency-on libmupen64plus/libmupen64plus-libs/liblibmupen64plus Is there anything wrong here or can I just ignore that?
It seems OK and I think you can ignore it.
DirK: Shouldn't rpmlint also check for libmupen64plus.* regexp?
rpmlint should instead check if .so links in the -devel packages are
non-dangling if one of the requires of the -devel package is installed.
The name-check is just bogus in many cases.
Richard.
