And that's exactly why it won't work. A simple change of package name (change the major number in a libname) and you'll need to rebuild tonnes.I don't think we need virtual provides at all, as we could resolve theBut which package name do you use? The real name (in which case you need

to rebuild all packages that require the -devel package when the major

latter case, which one? And how does the script decide?
I'd use the real package name. You have to rebuild every dependant
package anyway if the major number changes.
Of course, I may be wrong... We could try it out, see how it works.
can you suply the modified find-requires?
