I am attempting to create an RPM with a binary and a dependent shared library.

%files

/mypath/bin

/mypath/lib

In the bin directory, is my program:

myprog

In the library, is my library plus links to the library

mylib.so.2.1.1 (actually library)

mylib.so (link to the library)

When I try to install the rpm, it says that mylib.so is required by the rpm to install, but it is in the rpm.

If I querry the package to see what it provides, it provides

mylib.so.2.1.1

But the link is what is "needed" by the package. How do I get the rpm to know that it also provides the link? Or am I linking the executable incorrectly?
