Heads up: I've just committed http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/changeset/17285
TL;DR: If you rebuild a package which bundles multiple shared libraries together, you will see new error tags. On the upside, checkpkg's brain became simpler and easier to understand. The long read from the commit log: checkpkg: Remove soname grouping guesswork Checkpkg used to guess that if multiple libraries share the same soname version, they should go into a single package. libfoo-something.so.1 libfoo-otherthing.so.1 => CSWlibfoo suggested This caused increased checkpkg code complexity and guesses were often wrong and/or confusing. It is simpler to take each soname separately without trying to create package groups. Less magic in checkpkg allows maintainers to have a clearer understanding of what and why checkpkg suggests. In the rather rare cases when multiple libraries are bundled in one package, overrides can be used. These cases are rather rare, because the main package which used to bundle libraries is Boost, and it will be split into one-lib-per-package anyway. Other cases are rather marginal, and often involve bundling libraries with different soname versions (e.g. Kerberos private libs).
