Is libcomerr3 correctly built?

In the libcomerr3 receipt: [c]PROVIDE="libcomerr"[/c]

When a package provides another one I remove the provided package.

After I removed libcomerr I got the message

[c]e2fsck: error while loading shared libraries: libcom_err.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory[/c]

at boot.

/lib/libcom_err.so.2 is installed by libcomerr and libcomerr is a dependence of e2fsprogs.

Shouldn't libcomerr3 install /lib/libcom_err.so.2 and its target /lib/libcom_err.so.2.1?

libcomerr3 is not a drop-in replacement for libcomerr.

PROVIDE="libcomerr" should be removed from the libcomerr3 receipt.

e2fsprogs builds libcom_err.so.2 and e2fsck, then links them together.

libcomerr WANTS="e2fsprogs"

If cook is able to build e2fsprogs,then libcom_err.so.* are packaged into libcomerr tazpkg.

/lib/libcom_err.so.2 -> libcom_err.so.2.1

/lib/libcom_err.so.2.1

/usr/lib/libcom_err.so -> /lib/libcom_err.so.2

libcomerr3 WANTS="krb5"

/usr/lib/libcom_err.so -> libcom_err.so.3.0

/usr/lib/libcom_err.so.3 -> libcom_err.so.3.0

/usr/lib/libcom_err.so.3.0

The linux distributions I checked(arch,debian-sid,crux-3.7,fedora-rawhide) build e2fsprogs against libcom_err.so.2

Hi mojo,

Very clear explanation, I'm going to rebuild my libcomerr3 package after modifying the receipt.

Thanks.
