What do we learn by this? The use of provides can be dangerous when the providers have different deps. I wonder if we have more such problems.
That's why namcap should use direct link-level dependencies using readelf and not rely on the fact that a dependency already provides the library in question.
Actually, this would probably help us in a lot of ways - it'd make finding deps for rebuilds easier
I completely agree here. Could we please change our default policy to always include direct dependencies (checked from readelf output) even if another dependency already pulls them? -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
