EXPECTED RESULT:

Library package should Provide: its libraries

ACTUAL RESULT:

Problem: nothing provides 'libxslt.so.1' needed by the to be installed ...

MODIFICATIONS:

Lots, but it’s not really relevant.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Haven’t checked by possibly switching to cmake and a _build dir doesn’t create symlinks in the install phase.

Well, the package does Provide it’s libraries. It’s just that the symlink is missing, so the package naturally does not provide it. Workaround for the dependency is to require via the package name. In any case I’ll file an internal bug report about this.

It would appear this goes deeper that I thought:

  objdump -x  libxslt.so.1.1.35   | grep SONAME
  SONAME               libxslt.so.1.1.35

The (cmake) build process doesn’t seem to set a soname, so even though ldconfig tries it’s best, there is no symlink name it could choose.

Looking around how other distros package this, most stay with bad ole autotools, not cmake. Maybe switching to that wasn’t the best move.

Adding this patch, which is (conceptually wrong because soversion is not necessarily majorversion) fixes this.

…aaaand just as I want to do a PR, it is already fixed in master. :wow: :joy:

But it nice to see someone else came up with exactly the same solution.

#6

That was the way it was fixed in libxslt upstream repo, noticed that commit there when looking if there is new release available but no release was available so I just took that one commit from upstream.

#7

This was fixed on 4.5.0.18.
