That's why there was discussion started, some time ago, in this list, to
create devel packages so that they will provide %{name}-devel and

It isn't clear to me whether the situation to be fixed is Mageia-specific or
the inconsistency shows up also in Fedora, openSUSE, etc.
I thought it was about a small number of some peculiar libs, but it looks like
it's a more generic issue.
Moreover, excuse me, but I find it stupid to have a 64-bit lib called
`libksane-devel`.
This is devel package, not library itself, so it's OK.
I must admit I failed to understand your statement.
What's the difference between:
`libksane-devel` <<-- correct 64-bit name
and
`lib64djvulibre-devel` <<-- correct 64-bit name
?
Why not `lib64ksane-devel` ?
You are right, the package name libksane-devel is incorrect. See
