While iterating over the provides array, the find call for locating a shared library may result in listing multiple entries which by itself does not produce a stable deterministic order and may vary depending on the underlying filesystem. To provide a stable listing and a reproducible .PKGINFO file the result of find is piped to sort with a static LC_ALL=C localisation.
Wait, what. Do we have packages with libprovides providing multiple versions of a shared library? I mean yes, given this possibility it does seem like we'd need to sort them, but still... why does this exist? :p -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
