This package will cause software being linked with "-lbsd" to be linked against libbsd.so of libbsd package instead of libbsd.a of glibc. Why do we need this? We need to either rename or drop one of them (libbsd or libbsd.a from glibc), otherwise this will cause bad linking behavior. I raised this originally in my libbsd.spec review at https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/2012-April/014102.html I hope the other points in the above review have been addressed (haven't checked yet). -- Anssi Hannula
